YUM with a Novell proxy
 

I am running a few red hat servers and I cannot get yum to work via terminal with out 1st logging onto the server and putting my credentials into the Border Manger webpage.
Has any one been able to get this to work only using a command line?
I have no control over the Novell side of the house so i cannot allow my servers to bypass the proxy. Also the proxy has a home made ssl cert that is no longer valid. The Novell crew won’t regenerate it either.

I have tried
export http_proxy=username:password@https://192.168.x.x:9000
export http_proxy=https://username:password@192.168.x.x:9000
I am at a loss for what to do


Here is what i get...
[root@box1 ~]# yum update
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
There was an error communicating with RHN.
RHN support will be disabled.
