IPad's and a IronPort Proxy.

So we've started handing out iPad's to our users.  I've been able to setup them up to access our wireless network in a secure manner.  My next problem is with getting them to use our web proxies. 
We have a pair of S170's that we are using.  When I configure the HTTP Proxy settings under the wireless network on the iPad I'm getting some weird behavior.  For instance, if I type in www.cisco.com Safari changes the url to https://www.cisco.com:8443.  If I leave the proxy settings off I get a message saying Safari cannot open the page.  It doesn't even prompt me for user credentials like it would on a PC.
I'm sure other people have run into this.  Has anyone found a work around?  I've been searching the forums and from what I've found the general consensus is that iPad's are just not enterprise friendly.
Thanks

Im afraid if you want to put iPads through a proxy, put the proxy in transparent mode as the Apps are not proxy aware and its not a great browsing experience in explicit mode. 
Apple do not provide great direction on this. In my view iPads are not enterprise ready......and Apple almost want you to build your infrastructure around making them work, not the other way around.
Hope this helps.
Enda

  • I have an iPad mini and a 2nd gen Apple tv -which works fine with Airplay--and whilst i can get BBC Iplayer and 4OD , it only works with audio for ITV player and Demand 5. What am I doing wrong

    I have a new iPad mini and can successfully use airplay with my 2nd generation Apple tv . BBC Iplayer is fine --as is 4OD, but ITV player only works in audio format--and Demand 5 does not work at all. I am pretty sure both the latter are compatible--so what can i do to fix this and  what am i currently doing wrong?

    Someone recently noted a problem staying logged on the Huffington Post since it became connected with AOL. The workaround for that is to change your connection setting here:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Network
    Click the "Settings" button and choose either "No Proxy" or "Use System Settings" option, and OK the change.
    Not sure whether Washington Post could be affected by that same setting.
    In reviewing your extensions, I'm puzzled that you have both DoNotTrackMe and SavvyConnect. The first one seems to aggressively block certain communications with websites (potentially affecting functionality) while the second one seems to report on your browsing habits (they better pay well is all I can say). Have you tried disabling both of those to see whether that has any effect?

  • Pac file multiple ironport proxy servers

    ironport proxy, is their away to automatically load a pac file on multiple ironport proxy servers

    It looks like your missing an else command. Below is how I have it configured and it is working. Without the else command I would think it would just return direct always.
    (host == "127.0.0.1") ||
        (host == "localhost"))
    return "DIRECT"
    else
    return randomProxy();
    function randomProxy()

  • How do I set up IPad 2 and 2-4s IPhones with Apple?

    I have a 32 GB IPad 2 and ITunes on my Windows computer and just ordered 2-16 GB 4s IPhones for my wife and myself  I have 18.5 GB of data on my IPad, but only want to selectively include some of the applications and music on my IPhones.  I have IOS5.  Both IPhones will be loaded with appx 10 GB of data, but each will have different applications and music - all which is loaded on my IPad 2 and ITunes on my computer.  How do I do this most efficiently?
    1.  Do I use the same Apple ID# I use now on all devices, or set up a separate one on each device?
    2.  If I use the same Applie ID# on all devices, should I set up a different ICloud account on each device to keep the backups separate?
    3.  If I download an album on my IPhone, will either (or both) 1 and 2 allow that album to be downloaded on all of my devices through ICloud?
    I was advised that if I have a large music library to make sure the phones aren't set to autosync.  Does this sound correct?
    I'm trying to get answers to my questions lined up before they I receive them so I know how to best set them up.
    Thanks everyone.

    1)  You can use one id.  My wife and I do.
    2) Not sure.  Sorry.  We share one.
    3)  Yes.
    We sync via the cable.  We simply select what we want to sync on each device and sync.

  • I have an ipad 2 and want to have one account for home and another for work, how do i do this?

    I have an Ipad 2 and use it for work, I want to run a second account for home, how do I do this?

    What kind of accounts? Multiple email accounts are supported.
    Multiple user accounts are not.
    If you are saying you would like to have one set of apps, media, etc
    for work and a different set for home, and switch between the 2
    depending on network login or location, this is not a feature of iOS.
    If this is not what you are asking, please post more details so someone
    may offer a solution.

  • TS3988 My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

    My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

    If you can see the iCloud contacts in Outlook, you can copy them back to your PC by selecting all the contacts (click one, then press Control-A), then drag and drop the selected contacts to Contacts under My Contacts on the left sidebar of Outlook.
    If you want to copy your calendar back to Outlook, select your iCloud calendar on the left sidebar of Outlook, switch to the list view (select View from the ribbon, then click Change View>List), select your events (click on a single event, then press Control-A), then control drag and drop them to Calendar under My Calendars on the left sidebar.
    Then you can sign out of iCloud on the iCloud control panel and your local copies will still be there.  If you want to add your iCloud email account back to iCloud, you can do this with these settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864.

  • I have just purchased a lightning to 30 pin adaptor to use on an iPad mini and a gen5 iPod touch both devices are running iOS 8.1.3 and come up with The error message "this accessory is not supported by this device "

    I have just purchased a lightning to 30 pin adaptor to use on an iPad mini and a gen5 iPod touch both devices are running iOS 8.1.3 and come up with The error message "this accessory is not supported by this device "
    THis is means they are not charging on a 30 pin cable and the touch won't work in my Apple iPod dock - no audio out or charge. Have re powered both devices to no avail am wondering if the iOS version is the problem
    Help!

    If it is a lightning to 30 pin adaptor, and you have a 7th Generation Nano it has to fit the Nano.
    This is lightning to 30 pin adapter: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B---Lightning-to-30-Pin-Adapter/6651 936.p?id=1218803450821&skuId=6651936#tab=overview
    Is this what you bought?
    You need to contact Sony and see if they model you have is compatible with the docking adapter. It may not be.

  • App Store app nearly unusable on iPad 3 and iPhone 4 with iOS 6

    Thankfully I do not have any WiFi troubles with iOS 6 but I am facing another problem. iOS 6 offers that revamped App Store app which looks nice to me on my iPad 3 and iPhone 4, both using iOS 6. But it is nearly impossible to use that App Store app. I am quite often moving. apps onto and. off my devices and if possible I am doing it without using the USB connection to my mac, I like to use WiFi.
    I have to admit that I am owning more than 3.000 different apps by now. It always took some time to het those apps listed in iTunes on my Mac, in iOS 5 it also was no high speed listing. but at least it worked. Now after changing to iOS 6 the simple listing takes much more time. When changing the lsting type from "actual" to "by name" it even takes more time (and why is it still not possible to set the prefered view type within some preferences option?). When the view type finally has changed scrolling, detail look onto selected applications and the overall handling of this lsting is awfully slow.
    But the really annoying thing is that I can not scroll further than letter "D" or "E" - the App Store app constantly crashes (but remains active in the taskbar). You can imagine that this behaviour takes even more time on a iPhone 4.....!
    Does anybody in here face the same troubles?

    P.S. I solved the problem now and I'm only left with "installing..." status. Here's how got rid of that "waiting..." status:
    1) Open iTunes with your device connected to the laptop or pc.
    2) On the left sidebar, press "Apps".
    3) Then on the lower right, you'll see like in my case, "30 (this varies on the number of apps available for updates) Updates Available".
    4) Click on the desired app you want to update.
    5) Lastly, after updating, press the "sync" button.
    It worked, though my apps are currently stuck on "installing..." status. I don't know if this'll work in your case, but there's no harm in trying the procedure, right?

  • Why can't I download or open tif attachments on my iPad Air and IPhone 5s in mail running 7.1.2?

    Why can't I open tif attachments on my iPad Air and IPhone 5s in mail running 7.1.2?
    Tap to Download icon flashes but does nothing.

    I just hooked this thing up to my computer and was able to load new apps and update via the app store that way, installing them onto the iPad via sync. Very annoying though as I cannot make in app purchases etc still.
    Wish apple wouldn't pull this kind of junk.

  • I have 2 accounts with iTunes at same address how do I use both accounts on both my iPad 1 and I pad 2

    I have 2 iTunes accounts at the same address and have 2 iPads 1 and 2 and wish to use both accounts to buy apps for both iPads

    On the iPad you can switch between the two accounts by logging out of one (Settings > Store and tapping the account id on the right-hand side) and then logging in with the other account so that you can then buy with that account. Only one account can be logged in at any one time, so if you are buying apps with two accounts when an app gets an update in the store you will only be able to download that update via the account that originally bought/downloaded it. With the currently logged in account you can also download past app purchases from that account via the Purchased tab at the bottom of the App Store app.
    Similarly on your computer's iTunes you have can both accounts authorised (Store > Authorise This Computer), but only only can be logged in at a time for purchasing new content (Store > Sign Out then Store > Sign In)

    This has nothing to do with iPhoto. When I have this type of problem I call tech support for my email service. They probably are the only source of the correct settings

  • Remote app on Ipad 2 (and Apple TV 1st gen)

    Hi,
    I have an Apple TV (1st gen) which I control thorugh an Iphone 4 and Ipad 1. I recently bought an Ipad 2 and installed the Remote app. The app finds my ATV and I can control the music in it, but the control function (that allow the ipad screen to become a trackpad) is missing, so I cannot navigate on the ATV's menu. I can still do it on the Iphone4 and Ipad 1 (even with the updated IOS). I have tried deleting and reinstalling the app on my Ipad2 but the control function is still missing. Has anyone experienced this before? Do you know how to fix it?
    Thanks in advance!

    Have you tried resetting the iPad, to do this:
    Press and hold the Home button and the Wake / Sleep buttons at the same time, keep them both pressed until you see the Apple logo appear on the screen (ignore the swipe to turn off message, keep the buttons pressed).
