Environment

Novell ZENworks 7.5 Asset Management - ZAM7.5

Situation

Page 260 of the ZAM7.5 User's guidehttps://www.novell.com/documentation/zam75/pdfdoc/am75admin/asset_management_users_guide.pdftells you how to configure a proxy for obtaining PRUs. The port number entered here is ignored, and port 80 is used.

Resolution


Fixed in ZENworks Asset Management 7.5 Interim Release 8 or newer

Interim Releases can be scheduled to run automatically or can be downloaded manually at https://download.novell.com/patch/finder/#familyId=10426&productId=13864 The Interim releases can be set up within the ZAM Manager for the Task server to check the site on a scheduled basis, and download and apply them automatically. Please refer to the Help Section details of how to set up automatic downloads if desired.

Each interim release is cumulative. If Interim Release 8 is not available due to a newer interim release being placed on the website, be assured that the code needed is in the later release.


Workaround: specify the Proxy Server's address in the form [server]:[port]
Note that the number in the separate "port" field needs to be 80 for this to work.
