Manager as a Cache Server for Novell Patch Management
Resolution
1. Install the
Patch Management Agent on the workstations, entering the PLUS
server for the Host URL and the Border Manager Server information
in the Proxy field

Additional Information
This
solution requires an updated version of PROXY.NLM on the
BorderManager server that will honor the PUBLIC;MUST REVALIDATE
Cache Control header when a basic authentication header is present.
Otherwise, BorderManager will not cache the patch files but just
fill them from the origin server. The fix is included in BM38SP4 or
later available atNovell Product
Updates.
