Apple configurator & Proxy servers

We have an iMac that is managing 16 iPads via Apple Configurator, we are also running a service on a Server 2008 called AirCatch, this allows the iPads to send files to selected folders on the server via an internal email. This all works well when the proxy server is disabled but when enabled the proxy blocks CardDAV from displaying the folders as contacts.
I have gone in to the Global HTTP Proxy profile and entered the proxy server and port and ticked the 'Allow bypassing proxy to access captive networks' hoping this would allow local traffic to bypass the proxy.
This also fails to work and am now stumped as to what to try next, does anyone have any suggestions please,
Thanks

Hi.  Didi you ever find an answer to this question?
I am configuring a suite of iPads 2s. iOS 8.2.   I can configure in the prepare screen and assign profiles but they do not appear in the Supervise tab (so cannot refresh.  They also ignore the option to display the device name on the Lock Sreen.
I would be grateful for any help or advice.

  • Configuring Proxy servers for Mail.app

    Hello, and sorry if this question has been answered b4, but I couldn't find an answer... basically, I have to go thru proxy server at work to connect to the internet on my MBP, which I configured with Network Preferences (I enabled ftp, http, https, socks, and ITMS proxies.. Safari works fine, but can't get Mail to retrieve any mail from either of my mailboxes (.Mac and Gmail POP). the same prob. doesn't happen when i'm home trying to access my Mail from home (where i don't have to go thru proxy servers) using my macbook pro. the question is, how can i "tell" Mail that i'm using a proxy server?? thanks

    No, actually i tried it first with socks proxy disabled, and then with it enabled, but nothing appears to be working.. it sounds a little strange to me that Mail.app doesn't contain specific settings that allow users behind company proxies to still access their mail servers, b/c for whatever reason Mail.app doesn't appear to be using the default system-wide proxy settings specfied in network preferences, which by the way Safari picked up right away and started using. well, any further help on this would be much appreciated, thanks .....

  • Any suggestions for optimal configuration of cache on mulitple, high volume proxy servers?

    I am trying to optimize the cache on 12 proxy servers running Sun ONE Proxy 3.6 on Solaris 8. They are not set in an array at this time. Forward proxying only. I have 3- 36G drives available per box for cache. Traffic volume - approximately 50,000 users.

    Hi James,
              The typical configuration is to only use LocalDirector to balance the load
              across the web servers. Since the web servers are using our plugins to
              route the requests to the cluster based on information encoded in the
              session id, you do not need to (and should not try to) use Local Director
              between the web servers and the app servers.
              Hope this helps,
              Robert

  • Just bought ATV. hope http proxy setting will be in UI instead of via apple configurator

    i just bought apple TV and loaded latest firmware 5.2.
    from the knowledge base, understand that http proxy can be setup via apple configurator after ver 5.1.
    it can only be installed in MAC.
    i am really hope your developer team could bring the said function out to user interface instead of going through all the hassle.
    looking forward for your early reply

    Thanks for the idea. I had already thought about using aliases but that wouldn't stop the Application folder showing a looooooooooong list o applications. As I said, having things clear is just a crazy habit of mine. Now that I know the trick I will just "survive" having FCS applications in their default location. I know I'm the only one here doing things differently. It's just that I have never had that problem with any other application and it was turning me crazy.
    By the way, if anyone would like to use aliases, using an underscore as the first characters help having things on top of the list. For instance, the alias "_Multimedia" would appear before "Adobe".

  • OS X Tiger and proxy servers

    At the office I use my MacBook Pro connected to an exchange server. To do so I've had to use Microsoft Entourage and Firefox. I cannot get any of the Mac software (iTunes, Safari, Mail, etc.) to work with the server.
    I've read previous discussions in this forum on the subject but none have helped.
    How can it be that Firefox can have the simple "auto-detect proxy settings for this network" that works and the 'ahead of the curve,ease of use leader,' Apple does not?
    Can anyone help me to get OSX Tiger working for me at work?

    I'm not sure what you mean by vague but allow me to be more specific.
    To make Entourage work I had to configure it to use an Exchange Server, an option built in to the application. I find no such option in Apple Mail.
    To make Firefox access the internet I just had to choose "auto-detect proxy servers." Now it will work at the office (through the Exchange server) and at home where I'm connected directly (on a cable modem). Safari has no such option.
    I understand that Apple uses System Preferences rather than each application having its own settings. I ahven't been able to get any Apple apps to connect to the internet when I'm at work. I have set up a "Location" for when I'm at work. My MBP can access the company printers, though not from every application - - Preview always works.
    I see that there is a place for a PAC file url or to configure a proxy server manually. I don't have this information. The company in all PC and isn't all that concerned with helping me configure my Mac.
    If there's any other way someone can recommend I'd appreciate it.
    On another note, I question why Apple's set up isn't easier. Entourage and Firefox were very simple, in the case of Firefox it was automatic.

  • Apple Configurator failing to activate iPad(3)

    Hi all
    I'm having a problem with Apple Configurator and Preparing devices - Specifically an iPad 3rd Gen.
    Apple Configurator sees the iPad fine but when I start the Preparation phase it fails at 'Activation failed'.
    When I hover over the yellow warning triangle I see:
    'Unable to activate (Activation store bag request could not be obtained). Try again later.'
    Looking in the console, I see:

    I have no idea what is going on!
    So far I have tried:
    - Activating the iPad manually through wi-fi and iTunes
    - Downloading the iOS IPSW file and using that as the OS to install
    - Enabling and disabling Supervision
    - Creating a profile to be applied
    All of the above hasn't fixed this so now I'm a bit stumped!
    I'm using a MacBook running OS X Lion 10.7.3 and everything is up to date as far as System Updates go.
    If anyone can help that would be great, I'm supposed to be demo'ing this tomorrow!
    Thanks in advance
    - D

    I believe this is caused by an issue with your internet connection (i.e. firewall, proxy, web filtering). I had the same issue on my Mac Mini.
    I think it need to have communication with the Apple servers to ensure it can get the payload information when Supervision is on.

  • Apple Configurator 1.0.1

    The Apple Configurator 1.0.1 update is available from the Mac App Store.
    This update improves overall stability and performance and addresses a number of issues, including the following:
    Enterprise apps packaged as .ipa files are imported and installed correctly.
    Redemption codes for apps that contain a comma in their title can now be imported.
    A redemption code may be reused to install an app on another device if the original device is unsupervised and erased by Apple Configurator, or if the app's installation did not complete on the original device.
    The redemption code used to purchase an app in iTunes may also be used to install the app on one device with Apple Configurator.
    The number of redemption codes remaining for an app is now displayed correctly.
    Notes and bookmarks entered into iBooks and iTunes U are deleted when a backup is restored to a supervised device.
    The WPA2 password is saved when editing a Wi-Fi profile payload.
    The name of a stored backup is saved when edited.
    The storage capacity of an 8 GB iPod touch is now displayed correctly.
    The "Erase all contents and settings" checkbox on the Prepare pane has been relabeled "Erase before installing".

    Oh well,
    Today, I phoned Apple Education / Enterprise / Apple configurator people who claim that by article

    You can only configure two things.
    "Apple TV supports Wi-Fi and Certificate payloads for configuring network access, including proxy and 802.1X settings.'
    It reminded me that living at the cutting edge meant eating thin slices :-)
    I'm sure it will get better and beefier with time.

  • Getting through proxy servers

    Hello,
    Does anyone know if the URLRequest / Loader classes are able
    to connect through proxy servers? In other words, does Flash read
    the PC's proxy configuration and automatically use it?
    Also, I was wondering, if one was to create a Socket and then
    connect to a web site...
    mySocket.connect("www.mydoman.com", 80);
    but the user's PC uses a proxy server to connect to the
    Internet, would this
    connection succeed or fail?
    Thanks for your insight.

  • Proxy servers and the "cannot publish" error - v.1.1.2

    Using the latest iWeb (1.1.2), attempts to publish my work to my .Mac account resulted in the infamous "publish error." I then came across this KB article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303927
    I turned off my proxy access in the Network settings, and voila, publishing was successful. But now, I'm circumventing my much-needed proxy.
    It's been suggested in other threads here that proxies aren't a problem if one's iDisk is accessible through it. This is not the case. With the proxy, iDisk access is fine, it's only iWeb publishing that is a problem.
    Any way to keep my proxy and still publish with .Mac?

    iDisk access and iWeb publishing ARE indeed different activities. They are similar in that they both utilize the WebDAV protocol over Port 80, but they are different in their individual requirements for back and forth communications with the .Mac servers in terms of how soon or in what timeframe they expect to hear confirmation of transfer back from the server.
    It is apparent to me that the network timeout threshold for copying something to iDisk is a lot longer than that for publishing through iWeb. In fact, I would say that iWeb has become a lot more stringent with network timeouts ever since it was updated from 1.0 to 1.1.
    Anything in between your computer and the .Mac servers contributes to network latency. There are both software and hardware contributions to this latency. Proxy servers, like routers, can be software or hardware based. Software-based latency is most often greater than hardware-based latency.
    I would guess that removing any kind of latency "generating" obstacles within your control would likely improve iWeb function and decrease the incidence of publish errors. Some of these obstacles can include background processes, busy LAN activity (like VOIP use or streaming music/video or online gaming), wireless access points, proxy servers, and routers.
    On the other hand, I also think that if Apple increased iWeb's network timeout threshold, that most of the publishing errors that people experience could be eliminated.

    So we just got a new Macbook and I also installed the apple configurator tool. I'm using it to prepare the iPads for deployment and it won't let me prepare them? It gets an error stating "retrieving iOS info from apple" then it stops and says "internet error". My Internet connection is fine with the Mac-book. It shows the iPad is listed under the Prepare logo up top as 1 but under supervise none are shown. Although it does show itself in iTunes. Also the profile I created is fresh and has no errors. We have tryed nearly everything I cna think of and online forums are not giving us to much info on this error. 

    A wag at this.  A port issue?

    When MDM servers and iOS devices are behind a firewall, some network configuration may need to take place in order for the MDM service to function properly. To send notifications from an MDM server to Apple Push Notification service, TCP port 2195 needs to be open. To reach the feedback service, TCP port 2196 will need to be open as well. For devices connecting to the push service over Wi-Fi, TCP port 5223 should

  • With Apple configurator, how to set AirPrint to print IPPS

    Dear Community,
    My office wish to setup Airprint with Ipads.
    My IT, however blocked the mDNS
    I manage to use Apple Configurator to config the AirPrint.
    it now show IPP://192.168.1.101/printers/AirPrint
    I heard that airprint support IPPS.
    I am wondering how I can achieve this?
    In my print server, I already have IPPS setup for Windows.
    Regards,
    GoRay

    I assume you meant IPP not IPPS
    see the section on "Legacy printer support"
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AirPrint
    My IT, however blocked the mDNS
    Talk to them. Progress is making changes.  Remember, IT didn't approve of PCs.
    You need the AirPrint version of IPP.  You need a means of communicating over wifi with your printers.
    printing to a non-airprinter from an iPad
    To print from the iPad, your going to have to install some more software:
    -- install a printer app on the ipad. many printer makers have iPad applications for their printers.  Look in the app store
    -- install enabling software on a computer which you have connected the printer
    on your iPad install the Helper app -- /print n share
    This should/may get around the mDNS blockage.
    Print directly to the widest range of network or WiFi printers available in any app. Alternatively print via your computer to ALL printers including USB & Bluetooth printers. View read and display large PDF, Office & iWork files. Easily transfer & store files from the Cloud or your computer.
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/print-n-share/id301656026?mt=8
    on your server
    For Windows, try:
       O'Print
          http://oprintware.com/
       PrintCentral
         PrintCentral is the supreme printing app for the iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch
         A real DEBE -- does everything but eat.
         http://mobile.eurosmartz.com/products/printcentral.html
    Mac and Windows
    "WePrint enables printing to shared printers for iOS/Android devices from our range of printing Apps."
    http://mobile.eurosmartz.com/downloads.html
    You need a means of communicating over wifi with your printers.
    You will need to avoid going through your existing wifi routers. You will note that you will need to be in direct wifi range of the printer or print server. Wifi range in a building is about a 100 feet.
    solutions ( your IT may not like this.  Be sure your boss approves of these solutions. )
    -- install wifi donge on your print servers.  This will give you a direct wifi path to your printer servers
    -- buy a new printer that supports adhock printing.
    -- install the airprint software on some pc with wifi.  The software will forward your print job to the real printer.

  • PAC file support for Proxy Servers

    When will AIR support PAC files for proxy servers?
    In our network, we can't point to a PAC file because the AIR app simply ignores it, and we experience comms issues because of it. The workaround is to configure the network settings to point directly at the proxy, bypassing the PAC file.
    This is a big problem as pointing directly at the proxy means a lot of manual configuration for each user that requires the use of the AIR app.
    Any clues or suggestions?

    Hi,
    Additional configurations (DHCP and DNS) are required when you use Automatically detect settings.
    For details, please refer to:

  • ACE to load balance proxy servers

    Hi,
    i have a set of 4 proxy servers that are already load balanced. But they are using a incorrectly configured health probe on the ace. I need to know a good configuration for a heath probe that will send a http request over port 80 , wait for response, and read it?  I searched the forum and the cisco pages but could not find a proper answer.        
    the current probe is as follows:
    probe http HTTPGET
      description Tests that www.gmail.com returns 302 redirect
      interval 10
      request method get url http://www.gmail.com
      expect status 302 302
    -Gordon

    Hi Gordon,
    This is what you want to achieve :
    I need to know a good configuration for a heath probe that will send a  http request over port 80 , wait for response, and read it?
    So ideally you have to choose what content you want to request and what you expect as response.
    Any HTTP request will assume that the request is going to the web server or the device can understand HTTP and respond accordingly.
    If you ask me I would say that the probes which you are using make sense.
    If the probe fails that means the proxy is unable to reach "www.gmail.com" which is almost as good as proxy is not working.
    Let me know your thought about it.
    regards,
    Ajay Kumar

  • Running windows 7 firefox refuses to come up, proxy server is refusing connections network adminiastrater says proxy servers are correct and is issue with firefox what do I do/ do

    I start up firefox and it says the proxy server is refusing connection. It is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections. To check the proxy servers and ask network administrater to make sure proxy server is correct They say the proxy server is correct and it is a firefox problem. So what to I do now?

    Make sure that the Firefox connection settings are the same as in IE.
    You can find the connection settings in "Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection"
    If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select No Proxy
    In Firefox 3.6.4 and later the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings".
    You can compare them with the IE settings in the Internet Options (Control Panel).
    Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections: LAN Settings
