Forward firefox proxy settings to clients via OS X server

As title suggests we have some proxy settings to forward to clients, this was not included on the netboot image and hence need to add now, any thoughts on this?

Hi Jamie,
You need to check your DNS settings if the server address (FQDN) redirects correctly.
Your client needs to know where to find the server by it's correct dns name otherwise profilemanagement will not function properly.
Then verify on the server itself whether you can see the server's website. That should work ok, if it doesn't start there to fix that.
Goodluck, let me know what's going on

Firefox proxy settings with OD users

I need to add a proxy setting to firefox on 50 OD bound clients, firefox being the annoyance that it is doesn't pickup the sys prefs settings, anyone know how I can add the proxy setting remotely via WGM perhaps?
thanks in advance

Hi
Firefox keeps its settings in /Users/Home/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/mixofnumbersandletters.default/prefs.js. This file does not lend itself too easily for use in Workgroup Manager's Preferences Manifest.
What you could do - which is what I sometimes do - is to configure the Proxy Settings first on one client workstation. You could do this either one of two ways; keying about:config in Firefox itself or simply amending the Network Settings. This should 'write' the relevant information you want. Copy the prefs.js file to the Desktop. Quit out of Firefox and delete the User's Firefox Profile from the Application Support folder. Right click or Control Click on the Firefox application itself and select show Package Contents. Drill down through the Contents folder to the MacOS folder. Keep on going through the defaults folder. In there you should see a profile folder with an existing prefs.js. Overwrite this with the one on the Desktop. Now re-launch Firefox. Any user (local or otherwise) will receive those settings as default as they are set by the Application rather than by the User.
All you have to do now is copy the Firefox application to all of your clients. Which you could a number of ways. Copy the application to a pencil stick or CD and walk round each client in turn and copying the amended Firefox Application to the Applications folder. Or use the Copy command in ARD. Or prepare the client workstation you did this all on as a NetRestore Image and image the remaining workstations.

Removing firefox proxy settings does not work until a restart?

When I transfer from my work network (with a proxy server) to my home network (no server), I have to restart the browser before it realizes that there is no proxy server that it has to authenticate with. Until I do this, (re)loading pages gives me an error.
However, when going the other way, it smoothly recognises that there is a server, and no restart is required to continue browsing
I have automatic proxy settings enabled. I have tried selecting 'no proxy server', but I still need to restart firefox for this to work.

Please update to the current Firefox 22.0 release.

9ias and Proxy Settings for Client(Urgent !!! )

Dear All,
I am facing a very strange problem.
Our application is running on Oracle 9ias installed on Windows2000.
When I access this from a WindowsXP M/C with browser(IE 6.0) privacy settings as medium(which is by default medium)and without IP address of 9ias m/c.(Which is infact not required),I do not get the menu of my application generated.
I some how did some hit and trial and now when I put
the IP in proxy settings of my client Browser, I am able to get the menus.
Can anyone give some hint or somebody has faced the
problem like this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Dushyant

That sounds like a "cop-out" to me. Do individual applications on desktop machines have to be "proxy aware"?
Yes, they have. Not only on iPad, but every internet application, on Mac or on PC or on *nix, have to be coded internally to use proxies. Some are, and are also smart enough to check for any proxy info on network options of your system, some other will have the proxy info to be given in internal application setup, and some other, simply does not know what proxies are.

How can Apple expect to compete in the Enterprise space with this glaring hole in their operating system? Why can't there be a setting, e.g., "all internet traffic to use proxy server".?
That is a SOCK, and is another different stuff. There is no hole in the O.S., it is the app you want to use, because that app wants connect the internet by herself, without using your proxy.
Best advice is, you ask that app's developer, to add in future releases, proxy connectivity or (best) to check if network requires a proxy and act accordingly without bother the user on the issue
Anyway, I'd like answer also your other questions:

Why am I having problems w/ most apps and the proxy settings?
You have problems because that apps don't think about the proxy setting you have in your network configuration (app poorly coded), or they require direct internet access in their specs (app aware of proxy, and do not want use it), access that you don't have because of proxy. Not your fault. Nor Apple's

How do I configure a proxy for all users via GPO on Server 2012 R2?

I would like to configure a proxy that applies to all users that log into our server running Server 2012 R2. I can manually set up the proxy (on an individual account basis) via Internet Options in Control Panel but this proxy needs to be configured for
all users. Is it possible to do this in Group Policy Management for Server 2012 R2?
Thank you
Silas Horton

> Have you checked *User configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Internet

He cannot check this because it is't available anymore starting with
Server 2012/Windows 8/IE 10...

No, it doesn't :)
Better check User configuration - Preferences - Control Panel Settings -
Internet Settings

We have a new Trend and now we cant do internet banking with firefox, how do we change to firefox proxy settings.

when we contacted Trend they said we were set up with Outlook Express as our proxy server and would need to change our proxy server settings if we wanted to use Firefox. Before we updated our trend there were no problems and Firefox had always been great. We have tried updating to the latest version, but no joy.

Try here:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
What iOS is on the iPod (Setings>General>About>VERSION)?

Settings: firefox will not accept easy hideIP. cannot get firefox proxy settings changed.

easyhideIP will not be accepted by firefox and the prosxy settings of firefox will not change. They are set to auto accept but that does not work, the reload feature does not work. I have uninstalled firefox and reinstalled and the problem persists. I have no problem with IE 8.

If you aren't able to connect in Firefox, but can connect with other programs, the most common cause is a firewall. See [[Firewalls]] for instructions on configuring firewalls. (Make sure you configure all firewalls that are installed)
Another possibility is that you are in offline mode. Make sure "Work offline" in the File menu is ''unchecked''.
For other causes, see [[Error loading web sites]]

Web proxy settings not getting affected for Mozilla Firefox

I have an ISA Server setup as a web proxy in our domain environment . I have changed the proxy settings to the address of the new web proxy server for all the users in the domain by using group policy . Even the connection tab on the internet options have been disabled so that users wont be able to view the settings thereby preventing them from changing the proxy settings . It has been completed successfully . But when we tested the settings with various browsers by trying to access the blocked sites in our environment such as Facebook and other social networking sites , IE , Safari and Chrome seems to be detecting the proxy in the network and was blocking it but Mozilla Firefox and Opera does not seem to be affected by the change and users could have unrestricted access to the web . Please help me with how to configure mozilla firefox proxy settings using group policy edit .

I am facing a similar issue with the flash content on my website (appnina.com). Any flash content is not displayed on my website.
The problem is because of using flash plugin in Mozilla Firefox (21.0 - updated). The flash plugin does not get activated by default. That is whenever opening the site, the flash content is not displayed. It asks to click the activate button. This activation should be one time, however it always asks to do so whenever opening the site.
I just checked and found that this flash problem is not specific to my website but in general (youtube as well).
Let me put the screen shot of the same.
Any permanent solution to this. Let me check if I can delete the old plguin and download it again to solve this issue.
The problem seems to be because of compatibility problem of firefox with flash.
PS: Let me know if I need to start a new discussion thread on this ?

Server 2003 and IE10 proxy settings

We are (still) running Server 2003 with a mixed Win7/Win8 desktop environment. We can control Win7 IE9 settings but all of the Win8 systems are running IE10. We also have an internal web proxy appliance. Is there any way to force the proxy settings to the
Win8/IE10 systems or will I have to wait until we migrate to Server 2012? The IE 10 .adm does not have any proxy settings, IEAK10 won't run on Server 2003 and GPP is not available on Server 2003.
Thanks
Matt

Using PCI resource via NI-VISA server

I need to use a PCI resource (NI 6221) installed on a server from a client via NI-VISA server.
I use this system with GPIB and TCP/IP resources: all resources connected on the "server" are accessible.
Is-it a NI-VISA server limitation?

Hello,
You might be able to use your PCI DAQ board with NI-Visa. At least you should be able to get your VISA resource name from your DAQmx board.
Here are some links on our website which may help :

Firefox not detecting/using system proxy settings

I use a command line script to change among various proxies (and none). Firefox does not recognize when a proxy is turned on or fails to connect to it (no error messages), while other browsers and applications do just fine.
I have tried selecting "Use system proxy settings" and "Auto-detect proxy settings for this network."
My script contains these lines to activate a proxy
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Connections" /v DefaultConnectionSettings /t REG_BINARY /d 46000000b10000000200000014000000736f636b733d3132372e302e302e313a313131311c0000002a2e6c6f63616c3b3139322e3136382e31312e2a3b3c6c6f63616c3e000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 /f
reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v ProxyEnable /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v MigrateProxy /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
The first line enables the proxy to take effect without entering inetcpl.cpl. Again, this works for any application other than Firefox.
The proxies are all through ssh with port forwarding.
I do not want to manually configure a proxy in Firefox, because I do not want to change this every time I need to change proxies or turn them off. This is not an acceptable solution.
I am on Windows 8.1 64bit, with Firefox version 35.0
Any idea what might be going on here?

Thank you for the response, but as above, the "Auto-detect proxy settings for this network." setting does not work.

Need some help regarding Client Proxy generation and test via SOAMANAGER

Hello,
we are integrating a 3rd party Java client via webservices.
For that matter I generated a client proxy (consumer proxy) in se80 using the existing WSDL.
This worked fine.
The I wanted to create a logical port.
Since this is only possible in SOAMANAGER I tried it there.
Trying to do this automatically by the given WSDL file didn't work. The system dumps.
So, I tried the manual approach by entering the server name and path in the 'Transport settings' tab.
Now I wanted to test this.
Unfortunately the test function in se80 (Proxy->Test) doesn't show a positive result.
I always get an error
SOAP:1.023 SRT: Processing error in Internet Communication Framework: ("ICF Error when receiving the response:
ICM_HTTP_CONNECTION_FAILED")
So, I am kind of stuck here.
Do you guys have any idea what's wrong (approach, settings, bugs)?.
I tested the webservices with a test application (soapUI), and they work fine.
So it seems to be a problem in the proxy framework or a network problem?
I really appreciate any kind of help.
Thanks,
Michael

i created the port in soamanager.Do i need to create in lpconfig also?
yes i have loaded the certificate in strust.
i am getting the response also from the web service. as Security requirements are not satisfied because the security header is not present in the incoming message.
i need to pass the user name and password while using the method.wsse security.wld u have any clue?

Firefox suddenly stopped opening webpages, while other browser work properly. I checked Proxy settings and everything that is mentioned in the central help page, but still no solution found...

In addition, i tried to re-install Firefox many times, without a result. In the time these lines are written, I am using Google Chrome to surf the web.
Neither proxy settings, nor the true/false ipV6 values helped.
The '''"symptoms"''' are as following:
--> The programm itself starts correctly, at usual speed, with no crashes or error messages to pop-up.
--> No page is displayed, neither the home page, nor any other one. I only see a blank white page.
-->The name of the starting tab, as of any other new tab I try to open is "(Untitled)"
-->There is no probability of errors in the Internet Line, because I am using it right now, running Chrome.
-->The full scan results are totally clean, using Panda Internet Security 2011, activated and updated.
-->The Error Console shows the following messages:
Could not read chrome manifest file 'C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\extensions\{972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd}\chrome.manifest'.

These Error messages appear in the Error Console of the just now downloaded Firefox 4.0. In the previous version, 3.6.12, before removing it, I noticed two more error messages in the error console, like the two last as listed above: With the nema ERROR.
I am forced now to use Chrome, and I dislike that!
Some could suspect that Google has sabbotaged firefox to get its popularity by forcing users to change browsing programms by giving them a hidden worm..?? :P
Please, help me out anyone with good will and strong tech-knowledge.
Tasos!

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

Windows 8 and IE10 not accepting Proxy Settings via Group Policy

We have recently introduced a couple of Windows 8 computers in our network, and we are having issues applying the Internet Explorer Proxy Server settings.
We use a Microsoft TMG 2010 server as our proxy server for accessing the internet.
We have been using a GPO with the following settings to automatically configure our Windows 7 computers running IE9 with the appropriate Proxy settings:
User Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Internet Explorer Maintenance\Connection/Proxy Settings
“Enable Proxy Settings” : Checked
“Address of proxy” : server.domain.local
“Port” : 8080
“Use the same proxy server for all addresses” : Checked
“Exceptions” : Here we have a list of several internal or partner sites that should not be proxied.
This GPO has worked beautifully for our Windows XP and Windows 7 users with IE 7, 8 and 9.
Now with Windows 8 and IE10, this no longer works.
I’ve therefore added a Windows Server 2012 Domain Controller to the network, and using GPMC on that new DC, I created a new GPO with the following settings:
User Configuration\Preferences\Control Panel Settings\Internet Settings\Internet Explorer 10
Now, seeing as these are preferences, it’s a little different. But, I’ve “checked off” the option “Use a proxy server for your LAN” as well as “Bypass proxy server for local addresses”.
Then I click on “Advanced” and setup all my proxy settings the way I would like them, including the proxy server name, port and exceptions list.
When this new group policy gets applied to my Windows 8 PC, the only setting that gets applied is the “Use a proxy server for your LAN”.
It does not configure the name or port of the proxy server nor does it configure the exceptions list.
If I go back to the GPMC, and edit the new GPO, the settings are all there.
However, if I just view the settings from the main GPMC screen (without opening the GPO itself),
I don’t see all of those settings (again, only the one “Use a proxy server…”)
What am I missing???

Hi All, - (Revised Answer by myself)<o:p></o:p>
I banged my head against the keyboard on this one for some time trying to get this group policy to apply. I
did every thing that was suggested, learning about the F6 and F7 keys to Green underline and Red underline the options required and not required. I even gave in and used the registry settings and it still did not work. It turned out that I had
2 issues. The first one is obvious and the second not so obvious, this is how it is setup:
I have a 2012 R2 Standard DC with Windows 8.1 clients/workstations and IE 11. As you are aware you must make
sure that the following are underlined in green:
Automatically detect settings - (but not ticked)<o:p></o:p>
Use proxy server for your LAN<o:p></o:p>
Bypass Proxy for local address<o:p></o:p>
Next I made sure that the following had red dotted lines:
Address<o:p></o:p>
This still didn't work, so I went through my 'Do Not use proxy servers for addresses beginning with' removed all
of these and then re-added one by one until the problem materialized. The first issue was when using wildcards I had added an entry with the following:
http://domain.subdomain.com/*
Then caused my proxy fields not to be applied, I re-added this just with:<o:p></o:p>
http://domain.subdomain.com/
<o:p>This next one is IMPORTANT.</o:p>
I had these entries in a Word document of which I had copied and pasted from the entry box for 'Do
Not use proxy servers for addresses beginning with'. As shown in the screen shot above provided by SVEN_BURGER I had very similar entries:
http://domain.subdomain.com/;10.*.*.*;172.27.*.*;http://172.27.*.*
Each time I copied and pasted the line (+ more) above the proxy field on the Windows 8.1 client
be blank after using 'gpupdate /force' I then noticed that in my Word document the whole string was being seen as 1 URL due to the http part at the beginning, so I changed my entry to look like this:
10.*.*.*;172.27.*.*;http://172.27.*.*;http://domain.subdomain.com/
I again noticed that this section:
http://172.27.*.*;http://domain.subdomain.com/
Was being seen as one URL in my Word document. To resolve this I had to add the URL's individually and
apply and OK these before going back in and making the next entry. So I ended up adding them all individually after separating the
URL's in my Word document.
I hope this helps.

Windows 8 and IE10 and 11 not accepting Proxy Settings via Group Policy from windows server 2003

Hi
We are still running Windows Server 2003 with a Win7 and Win8 desktop environment. I can control Win7 IE9 settings,
But Win8 systems are running IE10. We have an internal proxy server.
Is there any way to force the proxy settings to the Win8/IE10 or 11 systems .
i have tried with The IE 10 .adm template and applied gpo,but does not have any proxy settings for ie10 and no changes were applies
please can anyone help me regarding this
i want to apply GPO from windows server 2003 to windows 8 ie10/11
Thanks

Hi,
I agree with Zanderol24, we can install RSAT on a windows8 client, and then we can use Group Policy Management to manage group policy from the client.
For more information about RSAT, we can refer to the following link:
Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) for Windows Client and Windows Server (dsforum2wiki)
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/2202.remote-server-administration-tools-rsat-for-windows-client-and-windows-server-dsforum2wiki.aspx
For more detailed information about how to use GPP to configure the proxy setting for ie10 and ie11, we can refer to the following link:
How to configure Group Policy Preference settings for Internet Explorer 11 in Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012 R2
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2898604
When we use GPPs you need to be aware of the F5-F8 keys:
Red / Green: GP Preferences doesn’t work even though the policy applied and after gpupdate \force
http://blogs.technet.com/b/grouppolicy/archive/2008/10/13/red-green-gp-preferences-doesn-t-work-even-though-the-policy-applied-and-after-gpupdate-force.aspx
Besides, aside from using group policy to manage IE, IEAK can also be used to do this.
For IEAK, the following article can be referred to for more information.
