RHN Proxy Server includes a command-line installation program as a Technology Preview. The proxy-installer package contains an installation program that guides the user through a complete installation of RHN Proxy Server via text-based interactive prompts.

Note that Technology Preview features are not supported, may not be functionally complete, and are not supported for production use. They are included here as a customer convenience and to provide the feature with wider exposure.

An issue has been addressed where an organization's administrator password was stored in plain text in a Satellite database entry.

An issue in the httpd.conf file has been fixed to prevent remote directory listings from being visible by issuing a GET request containing a double slash (//). The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2003-1138 to this issue.
