Hello all,
How can I configure yum to download updates when I need to authenticate to a Microsoft Forefront proxy?? I have tried to configure http_proxy variable as a "http_proxy="http://DOMAIN%5C%5Cuser:passwd@proxy:port/", but it doesn't works ... I have tried to set http_user and http_passwd also without luck.
Thanks.

Not tried this myself, but:
/etc/yum.conf
proxy=http://<proxyserver>:<proxyport>
Also, man yum.conf shows:
proxy url to the proxy server that yum should use.
proxy_username username to use for proxy
proxy_password password for this proxy

By the way, precise instructions are not too difficult to find:

Yes Giles, but my problem is with a Forefront proxy when I need to use an AD to authenticate users ... With s squid proxy, it is easy to configure proxy options under yum.conf ...

I see, so it might be a little more complicated:

Can you get an ssh connection through to somewhere a normal squid proxy can work? If so you can port-forward to reach it like:
In one terminal window: ssh -L3128:squid_host:3128 relay_host (perhaps the same host running squid...) and in another: http_proxy=http://localhost:3128 ftp_proxy=http://localhost:3128 yum update
If you are really desperate, you might try installing VMware Player on windows configured for NAT networking with a Centos guest. I believe that will piggyback your outbound connections through your windows host and its isa firewall client.

I do yum through Forefront TMG and you need to set proxy to accept both Integrated and Basic authentication.
If you can't do that because of policy/politics see if port 80 from that box's IP can have anonymous access to the centos mirrors.
