6.10.1. Satellite Tools ⇒ Satellite Configuration

The form on this page allows you to alter the basic configuration of your RHN Satellite Server. You may turn SSL, Monitoring, and Solaris support on and off. You may also configure your Satellite to operate as a Disconnected Satellite, or add an HTTP Proxy.

WarningWarning
 

Please note that changes to these configuration options affect your RHN infrastructure, and may cause services to fail. In general, it is easier to add functionality than it is to remove it.

Adjust the configuration options and click the Update Configuration button to update the Satellite.

The Satellite String Manager allows you to control the standard strings generated in emails from the Satellite. You can customize the email account information, the email footer, and the hostname for the Satellite.
