      Man page for rhsm.conf mentions "reverse proxy" wrongly. Those configurations are not about a reverse proxy but just "proxy".

             proxy_hostname
                 Set this to a non-blank value if subscription-manager should use a reverse proxy to access the subscription service. This sets the host for the reverse proxy. Overrides hostname from HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables. This value should not contain the scheme to be used with the proxy (e.g. http or https). To specify that use the proxy_scheme option.       
      
             proxy_scheme
                 This only sets the scheme for the reverse proxy when writing out the proxy to repo definitions. Set this to a non-blank value if you want to specify the scheme used by your package manager for subscription-manager managed repos. This defaults to "http".           
      
                 Note: subscription-manager tooling does not use this option for connecting reverse proxy and HTTPS is always used.
             
             proxy_port
                 Set this to a non-blank value if subscription-manager should use a reverse proxy to access the subscription service. This sets the port for the reverse proxy. Overrides port from HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables.
      
                 Please note that setting this to any value other than 3128 (depending on your SELinux configuration) will require an update to that policy.
      
                 To add a local policy:
      
                 # semanage port -a -t squid_port_t -p tcp <port number>
      
                 To change the system back to look at 3128 port, just remove the policy:
      
                 # semanage port -d -t squid_port_t -p tcp <port number>
      
             proxy_username
                 Set this to a non-blank value if subscription-manager should use an authenticated reverse proxy to access the subscription service. This sets the username for the reverse proxy. Overrides username from HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables.
      
             proxy_password
                 Set this to a non-blank value if subscription-manager should use an authenticated reverse proxy to access the subscription service. This sets the password for the reverse proxy. Overrides password from HTTP_PROXY and  HTTPS_PROXY environment variables. 

      Please check on what reverse proxy means.
