ISA proxy issue

Hi all,

I work behind an ISA proxy. I have to authenticat with domain\user.
When defining proxy settings with yast, I cannot put “domain\user” in the URL,
so I add it in text mode in /etc/sysconfig/proxy for all protocols. Example:
HTTP_PROXY=“http://domain\user:passwd@proxy:port/”
Then I have to logout/login in order yast to work.

BUT:

  • I cannot add communauty repositories.
  • zypper fails

In order to make zypper and adding repositories to work,
I have to suppress one of the two back-slash like :
HTTP_PROXY=“http://domain\user:passwd@proxy:port/”

If I reboot, I have to re-add a second back-slash, re-logout/login, re-remove a second back-slash

I read a lot of posts whitout finding anything relevant for me.

Is there a workaround ? Could you help me, please ?

Thank you in advance and sorry for my english,


Sylvain

try building aliases or small scripts with the right options like
HTTP_PROXY=$SLASHED_PROXY
HTTP_PROXY=$NON_SLASHED_PROXY
