Redhat – rhn_register through HTTP Proxy with Authentication

redhatyum

Is there any limitation to the proxy authentication support of rhn_register?

The proxy of the network I'm on sends the follow 407:

HTTP/1.1 407 Proxy Authentication Required ( The ISA Server requires authorization to fulfill the request. Access to the Web Proxy filter is denied.  )
Via: 1.1 VANESSA
Proxy-Authenticate: Negotiate
Proxy-Authenticate: Kerberos    
Proxy-Authenticate: NTLM

It seems that rhn_register is not able to any of the authentication schemes above.

Any advise?
