5.2. Adding CNAME Records to the Satellite Proxy Server Configuration

Procedure 5.1. To Configure Your Satellite Proxy Server to Use CNAME Records:

1. Determine the system ID of your proxy server. You can find this value in the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid file on your proxy server. Locate the following stanza in this file (your system ID will be different from this example):

   <member>
   <name>system_id</name>
   <value><string>ID-1036997498</string></value>
   </member>

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
   The system ID is contained within <string> tags. Do not include "ID-" as part of the actual system ID.
2. Add the following line to the /etc/rhn/rhn.conf file. Replace systemID with the value from the previous step:

   valid_cnames_sytemID= cname1,cname2,cname3

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
3. Run the following command to restart the Tomcat service:

   # service rhn-proxy restart
