Configure HTTP proxy in SUMA

    Hi,

     

    I am trying to configure an HTTP_PROXY so that suma can reach out beyond our intranet and pull updates from the IBM website. Currently, our suma config is the default as it's not been used before. When I attempt to issue the following command sudo suma -c -a HTTP_PROXY=http://our-proxy.location.company.com:8080/ I get the following error 0500-019 The -a flag entry HTTP_PROXY=http://our-proxy.location.company.com:8080/ is not valid.

     

    I know this proxy is working, as it is being use elsewhere with no issues. I'd like to get this tool working as it seems to be the easiest method of bringing patches into our environment, so any advice will certain help! Thank you.

    The system's serial number is not entitled.
    Please go to the Fix Central website to download fixes.

    But, I can go to Fix Central myself and input this machines serial and machine type and download fixes manually just fine. Ugh.
