Instant crash on proxy authentication - unacceptable

I love my Mac at home - very happy. But for Apple to release a beta software with such a glaring, repoducable, consistent bug is really extremely poor.
They are releasing it for Windows. People in work almost always go through a Windows NTLM proxy server. Did they not even think of trying this?!
Shouldn't even have got to a public beta with a bug like this

Sorry this is a "me too" post.
I too am experiencing this issue. I am exporting a screen-quality version of a magazine-style document. I can generate the PDF in single pages or in small groups but that is certainly not how it's supposed to work. Preflight reports no problems. I have had intermittent issues in the past with InDesign CS4 but after a second or third attempt it would generally work. I have also done an IDML export of the document.
I can't seem to pinpoint a specific "trouble" page and in fact the new multi-threaded PDF creation means that it seem impossible to diagnose the issue as you can't tell at what part in the document the PDF creation is working on as the PDF window/panel provides no details beyond a percent complete. All I can tell is it's not an issue with the very beginning or very end of the process.
I'm stubborn and as a result I must have sent about 50 crash reports to Apple at this point!
I am using 10.6.4 and I should also point out I am using linked InCopy documents.

Safari 3 crashes on proxy authentication

Is anyone else having this problem. Every time i try to connect to the internet my proxy server asks for authentication. Enter in the details and two seconds later it crashes. I have tried to enter in these details in the 'preferences' area but the button to edit proxy settings is disabled.
I am wondering if i could find some way of entering them into safari before i try to connect through the proxy would this solve the problem. Is there any way of actually doing this as the button to enter them in in the 'preferences' area is disabled.
If not, has anyone else had this problem?
Custom AMD 3500+ Windows XP Pro

After all this is BETA software.
The definition of BETA software is "not
ready for production", "in test".
Once all major bugs are caught
and fixed, then a RELEASE version will come out.
These comments are cracking me up. I'm not sure whether or not you actually have any programming experience, but I am confident that you have no knack for marketing a product.
If a software company released a PUBLIC beta version of a word processing application, the vast majority of testers (those with and without programming experience) would expect to be able to open/create a document in order to actually test the application.
We are dealing with a browser product here. It is an application that needs to connect in order to test the application (apart from the rudimentary functionality...tabs, main menu, etc). A proxy connection is one of the most ordinary, basic, and expected functions of today's browser. It's laughable that Apple did not include this functionality, or the ability to configure this functionality, in the beta.
Apple could have released a screenshot and, trying to connect through a proxy server, the Safari beta for Windows functionality would be the same for me.

Safari crashes behind Microsoft ISA proxy \ Authenticating to MS services

I recently updated to Leopard but I'm experiencing multiple issues with Safari. Whenever I'm at the office Safari crashes repetitively whenever I try to access a site requiring authentication (mainly Microsoft based). at the office .
This issue started after upgrading (thus not a clean install) to Leopard. Only happens in Safari (firefox no problem).
This only happens when I'm in the office where I connect via a Microsoft ISA server. On the same machine with 10.4 I never once had this issue.
One note is that since the upgrade to Leopard, authentication with ISA server does not work in the traditional way of domain\username (as it did before and should also now), but requires that I omit the domain name, this may be a clue to the cause? My Laptop is not part of any Windows domain I use a different user locally than to access any online services.
I cannot upload crash details via the crash reporter (might be blocked on the proxy server)
I would like to hear any suggestions.
Thanks
DT

I've had this problem logged as a bug on Radar since September (yes before Leopard shipped). The bug report was closed as a duplicate but I got it re-opened when 10.5.1 shipped and it was still present. It used to be just https access that caused Omniweb and Safari to crash when I authenticated to the ISA proxy in work.
After applying the latest updates (Security Update 2007-009 and Quicktime Broadcaster 1.5.2) any app that uses the proxy crashes. So http web access as well as https access not cause a crash. The Omni update check app crashes and takes the app in question with it when you launch it. Software update crashes. So do others but I forget the details.
This only happens at work. Fine on other networks. If I browse on the same machine using IE under Windows XP in a Parallels VM using Shared networking there are no problems. This is a Leopard problem . Didn't happen under Tiger.
Not good.
This is not good.

Annoying Proxy authentication requests

In our lan we use Firefox (various versions, from 8 to 23, also 17 ESR releases) on windows computers (xp and 7 32 bit) . We require a http proxy authentication (squid) with username and password. We usually configure only Internet Options in windows control panel checking the flag on "use automatic configuration script" with an url like "http://proxy/proxy.pac". In this script we give a list of intranet sites (web applications) that don't require a proxy authentication on internet because are internal sites on our lan. So on firefox we use the option "Use system proxy settings". The issue is: during a session on those intranet sites the firefox dialog window for proxy authentication often appears annoying the operator who has to close it every time. We have tried to mitigate the problem disabling firefox automatic updates, add-ons updates, search engines updates, do not track requests, attack sites and web forgeries lists updates, telemetry, health and crash reports. It seems not to be enough to solve the problem.
Are there other settings to set in "about:config" page? workarounds? add-ons?
Thanks for your help in advance.
PS: sorry for my english, I'm still learning.

I have done some other tests and disabling all settings i mentioned above in the topic the issue is solved.

Mac Adobe Flash Player not supporting Web Proxy Authentication

Anyone else got an enterprise network where you use web proxies with web authentication and no traffic allowed out except through the proxies?
You may need to be in the UK for this, but try accessing BBC iPlayer content - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer and you should discover that the content won't play. the error says "This content doesn't seem to be working. Try again later.". The content will never work as the Mac version of Flash (currently 10.1.53.64) is not able to respond to web proxy authentication requests. The BBC use various streaming server which are randomly selected when a user starts a stream and they have no DNS. Just IP addresses. They don't publish a list for security reasons. So it is almost impossible to exempt all their servers from authentication.
I've logged a bug with Adobe. If you have this issue too, please add a comment and vote so that they can begin to grasp the impact of this problem:
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-5161

I have the same issues in Australia trying to access flash content from the ABC website. The strange thing is the content will play if your leave the browser open for 5min.
After several packet data captures we identified that it has to do with the amount of time it takes the Mac timeout from the proxy before it plays the video content.
No solution yet.

Hmmmm... would appear that you need to be actually logged in to enable the additional menu features.
Have you tried deletting the plists for MAS?
This page might help you out...

Failing that, I will have to throw this back to the forum to see if anyone else can advise further.

ITunes 10.6 Proxy Authentication Problem

As all we know, since we've installed iTunes 10.6, we're having issues with proxy authentication. Whenever i want to connect to iTunes Store or open iTunes it always asks me about my username and password even thoug i check Remember Me check box.
I wonder if you did gave any feedback or answer from Apple?
Thanks

same issue, even w/ the 10.6.3 update.
very disappointing.
looks like this thread is a duplicate of https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3803634?start=0&tstart=0

Administration of APEX in SQL Developer with Proxy Authentication impossibl

Hello!
We are using latest version of SQL Developer to administer APEX. We are connecting to the database with proxy authentication. The syntax is:
personal_user[apex_ws_owner]
e.g.: mdecker[apex_demo]
When trying to deploy APEX application I go to "Database Object" -> Application Express -> Application1 [100] -> right mouse click: "Deploy Application". Then I select the appropriate database identifier and next, I am presented with a screen showing import options. In second line, it says: "Parsing Schema: MDECKER".
This is wrong: it has to be Parsing Schema: APEX_DEMO. It seems that managing APEX with SQL Developer does not support Proxy Authentication.
Could you please confirm?
Is there a way to formally ask for this enhancement?
Best regards,
Martin
Update:
I found out that if I check the flag "Proxy Authentication" in the connect details and provide both passwords, the deploy application parsing schema is set to the correct APEX_DEMO account. However, we are using Proxy Authentication in order to avoid having to know the application password.
Edited by: mdecker on Jan 28, 2013 4:48 PM

There is a write-up about connecting to APEX here: <a href ="http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/sql_dev_integration.html" >SQL Dev Oracle APEX Integration</a>
<p>You do need to have updated to Oracle APEX 3.0.1.

Instant crash on iPad1, iOS 4.3.3 with AIR 3.9.0.960 Beta

I built my application just fine.
They also run perfectly okay on those devices:
- iPod Touch 5, iOS 7.0
- iPhone 3GS, iOS 5.0.1
- iPhone 4, iOS 6.0
- iPad 3, iOS 6.1.3
But it crashes instantly on iPad1, iOS 4.3.3
I tried to debug to see if there's any code that's causing this crash, but it doesn't even pass the connection phase.
As soon as I see the launch image, it crashes to home screen.
My application uses several ANEs:
- Milkman's GoViral, GameCenter, StoreKit
- Freshplanet's Chartboost, Flurry
- Adobe NetworkInfo
- StickSport's CanOpenURL
- StickSport's SilentSwitch (I guess I don't need this extension anymore..)

Is anyone experiencing the same issue on iOS4? or instant crash?

I checked the anes but there's no anes that are targeted higher.
They work fine with previous AIR SDKs.
However, it doesn't crash on iPad 1, iOS 5.1.1

How to pass Proxy user dynamically in Toplink proxy authentication?

Hi,
I'm using Toplink Proxy Authentication with my ADF JSF application and want to pass the Proxy user dynamically to the preLogin(..) method of mySessionEventListener (Currently proxy user is hard coded).
This is to make my application user as the Proxy user.
I have tried to do this in two ways:
1) In my Login screen Backing Bean, I retrieve the session as
session = sessionFactory.acquireSession(); and set the application user in it as
session.setProperty("proxyUser1", inputText1.getValue());
But,
session.getProperty("proxyUser1") returns null in the preLogin(..) method
2) I add a loginUser property to the mySessionEventListener class and create a constructor to set it.
Then I call the constructor from my Login Backing Bean as
mySessionEventListener eventMgr = new mySessionEventListener(<proxy_user>);
session.getEventManager().addListener( eventMgr );
But, the loginUser property seeems to be transient and does not retain value when retrieved in preLogin(..) method.
Please indicate if anything is wrong. Also, is there any other way to get this done?
Thanks in advance.
Vikas

Hi Vikas,
Probably your sessions.xml defines a ServerSession, and acquireSession method returns a ClientSession. ServerSession is the object that connects to the database, it may have any number of ClientSessions associated with it - all of them use connections provided by ServerSession's connection pools.
So if you'd like to alter the serverSession before login, acquireSession is too late - it triggers login of the ServerSession and returns a ClientSession.
To get the ServerSession before login:
// the first param indicates that the session shouldn't be connected
Session serverSession = sessionFactory.getSharedSession(false, false);Now you have a serverSession on which login hasn't been called yet.
You can set the property into the session, or directly into its login.
In fact you may choose to do whatever you wanted to do in preLogin right here - in this case no preLogin event would be required of course.
Finally to get a ClientSession, call the same api did:
// the first param indicates that the session shouldn't be connected
Session clientSession = sessionFactory.getSession();On the first such call the ServerSession will be connected.
Note that because all the ClientSessions will connect through the connections provided by the same ServerSession they will all use proxyUser1.
If you are interested in using different proxy users for different ClientSessions http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/toplink/doc/1013/main/_html/dblgcfg008.htm#BABDABCF lists several scenarios for that.

Oracle Proxy Authentication and WLS 8.1/CMP

Hey folks,
Is there any way to configure WLS 8.1 to automatically set the Oracle CLIENT_IDENTIFIER
variable or use Oracle Proxy Authentication on JDBC connections? I'm interested
in using Oracle auditing with my CMP entity beans, but would like to capture the
app tier user identity, instead of the data source pool user.
Thanks.

Acrobat Standard Proxy Authentication

Hi,
When we sign our PDF's we want to use an external timestamping server
So we have configured both a Verisign and Globalsign timestamping server and made one of them as default
Most of the time we got a response from Acrobat saying
"Timestamp signature property generation error:
Transport authorization failure"
When it fails the doc is signed, but using the computers clock and we want to avoid that
But sometime it did work which confused us but I think we have identified the problem with the Proxy authentication
Our proxy requires full authetication against our Active Directory
So when it worked was just because we just before signing had been surfing on the internet and the proxy had cached the credential approvals
So when Adobe tried to get out to the timestamp server the ID was already authorized in the proxy
But without a previous "IE-surfing" it fails, the proxy has nothing in its cache
A network trace confirms this, we see a "Authentication required" request from the proxy that Acrobat never responds to
The proxy does not accept annonymous requests
IE is configured to use a configration script for its proxy settings
I cant find any relevant Acrobat settings that handles this and googling indicates that Acrobat has problems in this area
But I haven't found anything for our version/release
Now for the question, is Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.3.0 supposed to handle proxys that requires AD authentication?
To bypass the proxy is not an option
Setting a proxy exception for these servers is maybe an option
Prefered is that Acrobat handles this

To update my own question since it might help others
I received assistance through the Adobe support channels
Not what I was hoping for but it clarifies the problem
The reason I asked the question is that we don’t support Shared Review with an Authenticating Proxy server. So this customer workflow isn’t too far off the mark with having a proxy server authentication expectation in the standalone client and wanting a timestamp server time. The only workaround to this behavior is to do exactly what they have found. Launch an instance of Internet Explorer, authenticate against the proxy server and then sign the PDF file.

Http proxy authentication for JDev 10.1.3

Hi,
I found the http proxy settings in the "tools->preferences->Web Browser and Proxy" but there are no settings for the username and password. Is there some other way that I can add these.
The problem is that whenver JDeveloper wants to do some http stuff it (or something else is doing it) asks me for the proxy user name & password - this happens over and over again. If JDev is doing this then surely it should remember the username & password.
I sometimes get a JDeveloper dialog "waiting for the connection" come up over the proxy auth dialog and I have to cancel the function so I can authenticate, then re-request the function.
I wish I didn't have the proxy authentication but I have no choice in this dev environment. I do get to choose JDeveloper at least.
Regards,
Simon.

Hi,
I get it when I 'check for updates' and I get it again when I 'go to JavaDoc' - and this is the one where the "waiting for connection dialog" pops on top of the proxy log in and I have to cancel it to log in. Then all subsequent 'go to JavaDoc' requests go straight through.
I would prefer it if I could just configure (in proxy preferences) the username and password so it never asks me. I dont care if it less secure storing the password since I think authenticating proxies are a dumb idea anyway. If the password is not supplied then JDev can ask for it like it does now to keep the security-paranoid people happy.
Also, this morning I got this Exception which appeared at the same time I got a proxy auth window. When JDev finally started all my previously open windows were lost. No real problem but unexpected. Here is the stack dump:
