Creative Cloud cannot connect from behind a proxy.

One of the most stupid things that Adobe has done is this stupid Creative Cloud solution. We have multiple users who are unable to access the Creative Cloud because the "brains" (and I use that term loosely) at Adobe decided to change their application without any warning.
When using the Adobe Application Manager, the software would not connect to the Adobe servers when using a proxy, but that was fine because at least authentication was working. Now even that is failing since the update from Adobe Application Manager to Creative Cloud Desktop App. After much testing, and countless trials in trying to find a full application which does need to be constantly updated everytime it does connect to the internet, I was able to work out that if a proxy pac file is being used, then the application does not connect and fails because it cannot find the internet. When a proxy server and port is used, then it connects, but this is not a suitable solution.
Is there anyone who has been able to use the software with proxy pac files enabled?
Btw, here are some interesting reponses from the Adobe tech support who was neither supporting nor tech savvy:
"Do you have a connection to the internet?" - After remoting on to my machine ...FROM THE INTERNET
"You need to start the machine in safe mode." ME:"Why?" Support: "Because this free up resources, for the application to run"
"It looks like the Internet connection is not working" - After repeatedly clicking Retry
"I'll contact the 2nd tier support and we will be able to help you, because our main concern is that you can get a connection" Me:"How long will that take?" Support: "A couple of hrs" - 4 hrs later and still no word from tech support and I have already worked out the issue.
So for any Adobe people, who actually want to help, I'm still waiting on my callback.
All others, let me know if anyone has been able to get this working with proxy pac files.

For any one trying to get this stupid thing working, I was able to find a solution for our environment.
Namely adding both a proxy pac file for the users and then enabling the Proxy server settings for the application. This allowed the Adobe Creative Cloud application to connect to the internet and update. This also meant that we didn't need to add the sites into our filter list as they were already enabled for the users.
Hope this helps others trying to get this working

    Hi Nom d\'écan
    Generally this error message comes up when the connection between your computer and Adobe server is blocked . There could be different reasons behind the same like Antivirus-firewall-proxy blocking the internet connectivity or there are enteries for Adobe in the host file of your computer. I would suggest checking the Host file first and if it comes out to be clean , please turn off any active AV/Firewall/Proxy/Online backup and then try.
    Location of host files is mentioned below.
    Windows:
    Choose Start > Run, type %systemroot% \system32\drivers\etc, and then press Enter.
    Right-click the hosts file and select Open. Select Notepad for the application to open the hosts file.
    Back up the hosts file: Choose File > Save As, save the file as hosts.backup, and then click OK.
    Search the hosts file for entries that reference activate.adobe.com (for example, 127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com) and delete these entries.
    Save and close the file.
    Mac OS
    Log in as an administrator to edit the hosts file in Mac OS.
    In a Finder window, choose Go > Go To Folder.
    Type /etc.
    Select the hosts file and open it.
    Back up the hosts file: Choose File > Save As, save the file as hosts.backup, and then click OK.
    Search the hosts file for entries that reference activate.adobe.com (for example, 127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com) and delete these entries.
    Save and close the file.
    Cheers,

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    You can't install 9.2.1 or earlier on any Mac that is only Mac OS X bootable. In fact you need to use the restore disks which came with those Macs to install 9.2.2 on those Macs. 8.6 is only possible to install on Macs which came with 8.6 or earlier. The 9.1 disk may be useful for your 1999 PowerMac G4, but won't be of any use for a 2006 Powerbook G4.

    i also use the HeidiSQL client and it works, the only problem is in dreamweaver.

    OK.  Did you really mean to ask this question on a ColdFusion forum, if it's DreamWeaver you're having problems with?  You're probably better off raising this on a DreamWeaver forum.  "Using the correct tool for the job" 'n'all.

  • Cannot connect from Mac Pro late 2013 to Macbook Pro

    Cannot connect from Mac Pro late 2013 to Macbook Pro . I have tried via ethernet and wifi. I can connect from the MBP to the Mac Pro but not vice versa. I have tried to connect to other MBP's on the same network with no luck. I try and connect as a registered user, as I usually do, with no luck. When I enter the Username and then Password the box vibrates as if the details are incorrect, they are not however.
    Thanks in advance
    Jeff

    It is 'just not working' again.
    To answer you question. Other sharing services work. I can connect as a guest. I can share screens. I cannot air drop.
    I cannot connect either way now i.e. from Mac Pro to MBP and vice versa.
    I cannot connect to my wife MBP either. My wife cannot connect to my Mac Pro.
    It neither works with wifi or ethernet cable.
    I can connect to my Time Capsule directly and Time Machine backups are working.
    The passwords are 100% correct.
    The Mac Pro is a late 2013. Does anyone else have a similar problem? I have never suffered this one before. Seriously effecting my workflow
    Thanks

    Creative Cloud icon disappeared from Apple Tool Bar after I installed some CC updates. Does somebody know what the problem can be?

    I had a similar issue. I closed the Cloud icon, and when I went to open it again, it just died.
    I uninstalled Adobe Creative Cloud, went to the Adobe CC download page and requested a trial copy of PS, being sure to enter my CC name and password.  It then reinstalled Adobe Creative Cloud, and all is working again (I hope).
