CentOS - Feb 2012 - Problems with Microsoft Forefront proxy with yum

Hello all,

 How can I configure yum to download updates when I need to
authenticate to a Microsoft Forefront proxy?? I have tried to
configure http_proxy variable as a
"http_proxy="http://DOMAIN\\user:passwd at proxy:port/", but it
doesn't
works ... I have tried to set http_user and http_passwd also without
luck.

 Thanks.

Not tried this myself, but:

/etc/yum.conf

proxy=http://<proxyserver>:<proxyport>

Also, man yum.conf shows:

               proxy url to the proxy server that yum should use.

               proxy_username username to use for proxy

               proxy_password password for this proxy

By the way, precise instructions are not too difficult to find:
