Disabling the Subscription Manager repository

If you are on a Lab environment and you don’t need the RedHat Subscription manager to maintain you packages it is possible to disable it.

subscription-manager config --rhsm.manage_repos=0

Using an HTTP proxy

Many times we don’t have direct access to the internet and the use of an Proxy server is necessary, to configure the RedHat Subscription Manager through a Proxy execute :

subscription-manager config
      --server.proxy_hostname=proxy.poplab.pt
      --server.proxy_port=8080
      --server.proxy_user=username
      --server.proxy_password=secret_passwd
