need instructions for configuring Repositories for SLES12SP4

We have got a SLES 12 SP4 Operating system server. What we are looking for is the following

  1. How to configure the server such that it can connect to the SLES software repositories

  2. what are the ports we need to open

  3. Is there any other steps we need to follow

Regards,

Hi and welcome to the Forum :slight_smile:
So does the system have direct internet access, or going through a proxy?

Thanks a lot. The system will access internet through the proxy server.

Hi
Your proxy should should accept SUSE domain (or at least selected sites used like updates.suse.com and scc.suse.com) without authentication.

You need to populate the proxy setting in YAST and to add two lines with your proxy information to /etc/profile, for example:

    export http_proxy="http://10.10.1.1:8081/"
    export https_proxy="https://10.10.1.1:8081/"

Also add above to /root/.curlrc

thanks a lot we will try
