How to configure ISA Proxy/Auth Setting For Yum

How to configure ISA Proxy/Auth Setting For Yum

Problem:

I was running centos in Lan for my persoanl use and there are MS ISA servers for proxying and each user has to use his/her user name & password for Internet so I used my credentials but no success, remember in Firefox I have no problem but when i was going to do yum no success after the expert suggestion i read the following thread you can also and then I come to the solution

WHAT IS 'NTLM Authorization Proxy Server'?

'NTLM Authorization Proxy Server' (APS) is a proxy software that allows you to authenticate via an MS Proxy Server using the proprietary NTLM protocol. Since version 0.9.5 APS has an ability to behave as a standalone proxy server and authenticate http clients at web servers using NTLM method. It can change arbitrary values in your client's request header so that those requests will look like they were created by MS IE. It is written in Python

Main features:

· supports NTLM authentication via parent proxy server (Error 407 Proxy Authentication Required);

· supports NTLM authentication at web servers (Error 401 Access Denied/Unauthorized);

· supports translation of NTLM scheme to standard "Basic" authentication scheme;

· supports the HTTPS 'CONNECT' method for transparent tunnelling through parent proxy server;

· has ability to change arbitrary values in client's request headers;

· supports unlimited number of client connections;

· supports connections from external hosts;

· supports HTTP 1.1 persistent connections;

· stores user's credentials in config file or requests password from a console during the start time;

· supports intelligent failure detection and failover between multiple upstream proxies;

Download ntlm rpm via browser because in my case Internet is working in firefox but not for yum you can also download on other pc and after that scp is the option for you.

ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp.sourceforge.net/pub/sourceforge/n/project/nt/ntlmaps/OldFiles/ntlmaps-0.9.9.6-1.i386.rpm

Just do copy paste in browser

Open terminal

rpm -Uvh ntlmaps-0.9.9.6-1.i386.rpm

after that just edit server.cfg you can find all related files by typing

rpm -ql ntlmaps

in my case

vi /etc/ntlmaps/server.cfg

and change following parameters as per your requirment

PARENT_PROXY:That_will_b_your_MS-Prosy_IP

PARENT_PROXY_PORT:That_will_b_your_MS-Proxy_Server_Port

NT_DOMAIN: That_will_b_Your_windows_Domain_name

USER:That_will_b_your_proxy-user

PASSWORD: That_will_b_your_Proxy-user_Password

save & exit

now run ntlmaps deamon

/opt/ntlmaps/main.py

you will see the following output

NTLM authorization Proxy Server v0.9.9.6

if you see congratulation you done other wise troubleshot it

Now you have to export proxy for yum

http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:5865
