YaST Proxy Authentication

English Applications

Hello,

when I start YaST and set up the proxy settings correctly, I still can’t access to the access the application management, the Software repositories etc.
My System is up to date.

This error occures:

 Fehler beim Herunterladen (curl) für 'http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml':
 Fehlerkode: HTTP response: 407
 Fehlernachricht: The requested URL returned error: 407 Proxy Authentication Required

In english:

 Failed with download (curl) forr 'http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml':

 Errorcode: HTTP response: 407

 Errormessage: The requested URL returned error: 407 Proxy Authentication Required

This is a bug report.
I have searched the forums and I’ve seen that this occured already in older distros.

Greetings

Bug reports should be made at http://bugzilla.novell.com/ (same username/password as here).

BUT, before doing that:
Have you actually provided your authentification credentials in the proxy settings?
I.e. something like this in /etc/sysconfig/proxy or YaST’s proxy settings:

HTTP_PROXY="http://myuser:mypass@myproxy:8080/"

PS: Probably you provided the credentials in YaST->Network Services->Proxy’s username/password fields and it is being ignored?

This would sound like this bug report then:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=752382

So maybe you just should add a comment there, if you think that it’s the same bug you are experiencing.
But providing the credentials as I posted before should be a workaround at least.

Sorry, I don’t use a proxy myself (and especially not one that needs authorization).
