Problem:
Machines deployed/provisioned by Foreman do not install salt-minion and therefore don’t enrol with my salt-master

Deployment works fine, I have the salt tab when I create a host and my states have been imported successfully from the salt-master (which is the foreman server).
I can see during deployment yum attempts to install something, I’m assuming it’s the salt-minion, but it fails as we’re in a production environment isolated from the internet. We do have a squid proxy which these machines can utilise, but not sure where to set that parameter for this salt-minion installation.
The proxy is set in the General and Content sections of the Foreman → Administer → Settings page.
