Is it possible to change proxy settings for all profiles that´s created instead of the standard options. We need to change "use systems proxy" into "automatic"

Proxy Problems
We need to be able to change the default settings for the proxy for all profiles on our computers that´s created for new users.
Standard is that firefox takes the option "use the system options" for the proxy. We would like it to use the option "automatic" instead like IE and Chrome does.
Considering that we have over 500 computers doing this manually isn´t an option, because a new profile is created everytime someone logs on to a computer they haven´t used before.

You can use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify new default values.
Place a file local-settings.js in the defaultspref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes
This will work for all existing and newly created profiles.

So, i have bad news for you : you'll have to rebuild again.
Meanwhile i have excellent news for you : there's an online tool made by Johannes Henseler called Sidecar xml which builds the necessary xml file for you, sort of what you find in the Digital Publishing Folio Editor website, but saves it in your Folio folder.
Next time you import all your folder (with that file), it will place all the necessary information, and even reorder the articles.
Build once, play many times.

Update hosts file and Change proxy settings for all users on Mac

I am in a large environment with many Mac users. We have a Windows based proxy server that we are switching over within a few weeks. So far we are manually having to go to each Mac and change the proxy settings under the users account. This is a very long and painstaking process as users are on vacation etc. and our cutoff date is fast approaching for the old proxy.
we also are having to log into each workstation as administrator go into the terminal and so sudo passwd root then change the password then do sudo vi /etc/hosts to edit the hosts file.
Is there a way to change the proxy server setting for safari and firefox globally without having to log in as each user on the Mac ?
Or is there an automated way through a script that the users can run ?
These macs authenticate to active directory. They do not have a mac server but I was told to post this question here versus the desktop area.

Most browsers include an [automatic proxy configuration (PAC) mechanism|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_auto-config] and the transparent configuration of proxies, and Safari and Firefox are no different here.
The usual approach here is to have folks visit a site and select the PAC file, or to push the file out. Here is a comfiguration example from [UConn|http://helpdesk.uconn.edu/trouble/proxy/autoprox.html], and another from [Rice|http://proxy.rice.edu/setup.php], and there are others around and visible via Google.
The [pactester|http://code.google.com/p/pactester> tool might be useful, too.
If y'all get some DNS entries set up (various web browsers have [Web Proxy Auto Discovery (WPAD)|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebProxy_AutodiscoveryProtocol], when last I checked [Safari needed a little help|http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20090711031033128]) and have your firewall raise an appropriate diagnostic page, you won't have to go through this again, either.
None of this stuff is particularly specific to Mac OS X or to Safari; the PAC stuff is fairly generic, and WPAD is used with various boxes. (Try Safari with WPAD, but you might still need to reference that PAC file. And if you do, using WPAD-compliant naming would probably be a reasonable approach.)
The hosts files? You're really still using those? Any chance you can get real DNS working? That's a whole lot less work, and now is the time to deploy that; if you're going to mess with everything, then you can use that effort and that requirement to (also) move forward in your networking capabilities.

Steps to apply Proxy settings for all Server in a specific OU using Group Policy ?

People,
I have several terminal server (2008 R2) running as RDSH in an OU called Terminal Servers.
So how can I create the GPO setting to make sure that everyone who login to this terminal server will be getting the proxy settings automatically to proxy.domain.com on port 3128 ?
I've created the GP object and then link it directly to the Terminal Servers OU using the following options:
User Configuration (Enabled) > Policies > Windows Settings > Internet Explorer Maintenance >
Connection/Proxy Settings > Enable proxy settings
But somehow when I login as myself and DOMAIN\Administrator the proxy settings in the IE11 is still unchecked with the old Proxy value and sometimes blank in some servers.

User policies apply to user objects - the servers will ignore them, and
as long as there is no user in your terminal servers OU, no one will get
this setting.
Link your policy to the OUs where the users are, then use item level
targeting to filter for a security group you create for this purpose,
and add all your terminal servers to this group. Don't forget to reboot
the servers after changing group memberships...

Martin,
Since the browser in the Terminal Servers are all running IE 11, do I need to do the GPO using IEAK or GPP with the new ADMX template ?

Query for all computers that do NOT have either the 32-bit or 64-bit version of a product

I've found plenty of people asking how they can create a query that will list all of the computers that have either the 32-bit or 64-bit version of an application. I want to do the opposite. I want a collection where all of the members do NOT have
the latest versions of an application that comes in both 32-bit and 64-bit.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't a NOT IN sub-select query be the only way to get a list of computers that do NOT have an application installed? I can create a NOT IN that works with either 32-bit or 64-bit ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS, but never both.

Yes, for CM07 you will need to use sub-select. (CM12 you can use "exclude collections").
I think you need to use an OR, between your two sub-select statements, for your requirement.
edit: actually, maybe that should be an AND that you need. How about you try each, and let us know?

"Use system proxy settings" Not working on Mac OS X Snow Leopard

When I change the network location or when I select "Use system proxy settings" on the connetion configuration dialog.
Firefox is not using the proxy defined on the loction set on Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
I usualy change from work to home, at work I've a proxy and at home I don't, and it's a bit annoying to have to change the proxy twice a day. So I tryed this feature, but It's not working for me.
I've tryed also with Firefox 3.6 (I think) and didn't work either.

I run it from eclipse, and on debug mode i checked the value of
java.library.path, and it was ok.
Any way, how can i do what you suggested on mac?It's just a command line argument, but there's no reason to add it if your
java.library.path is ok. One of its componenents must be a directory where
your shared lib is stored, that's all. BTW, the Mac is unix based isn't it?
Shouldn't it be an .so file then? (just a wild guess)
kind regards,

How to add system-wide preferences in RHEL that will take effect for all profiles.

I have used the following docs to try to accomplish my task:

Strange info in "Bypass Proxy Settings for These Hosts and Domains"

For my Mac Mini my Network IP Address always has a self-assigned 169.254 number that I cannot change. Strangely, this same IP number is similar to info that is in the Proxies section (of Network Settings) under "Bypass Proxy Settings for These Hosts and Domains".
No matter what I do, this info (*,local, 169.254/16) appears in my Network Settings in the Proxies section under "Bypass Proxy Settings for These Hosts and Domains". (I tried removing the info and it would cause the "Configure Proxies" selection to default to "Always Use PAC File". Had to go back and retrash all the plist files to have Proxies go back to "Configure Proxies-Manually". Still, the info (*,local, 169.254/16) continues to appear in the "Bypass Proxy Settings for These Hosts and Domains" section and my IP address is always a 169.254 number.)
Comcast cable modem via direct hardwired Ethernet works fine with my other computer, so not the modem. Also, other computer does not have any info in the "Bypass Proxy Settings for These Hosts and Domains" section.
Installed a fresh copy of OS X 11.5 on a new hard drive. Still the same problem.
I posted this issue before but only got one responder and the problem still exists. Any clues? Somebody must know about this stuff. Help please.
Thanks

When your Mac wakes up, it does not yet have an IP Addresss. It wants to send a request to a Router for an apprpriste IP address to use now. But it needs to have an IP address (like a return address) to receive any messages. So, ... wait for it,
... it (your Mac) makes one up. There are rules that ensure it is a random address, but they always start with 169.254. It is on the same subnet with any low-order 16 bits This is the "self-assigned" range of IP Addresses. This address is only good for talking on a local network segment, for things like asking for a valid IP Address from a DHCP-enabled Router.
In most cases, on most networks, the 169.254 self-assigned IP Address is replaced by a valid Local IP Address such as 192.168.xxx yyy or 10.0.xxx.yyy so quickly that you never even see the 169.254 Address.
If you do see the 169.254 Address, it can be read as "Nobody will talk to me" or "Nobody will give me an IP Address". When you have this IP Address for more than an instant, you should suspect bad cables for Ethernet connections, bad signal strength or interference for wireless, Router configuration problems, or Mac configuration problems.
Mac configuration problems are often solved by using the "Assist Me" button is System Preferences > Network and choosing to set up again.
Another diagnostic is to try using Network Utility and the Ping function, and Ping-ing the address of your Airport base Station, often 192.168.0.1 or 10.0.0.1 or similar. This will tell you if the Router is reachable, or there are cabling/wirelss signal problems.
In this case, proxies are not an issue, and are simply a distraction from the real problems.

I have lost the correct proxy settings for the ethernet connection using Safari. How do I get back to the original ethernet proxy settings?

I changed the ethernet proxy settings for Safari on my Mac Pro, when I was in a particular place that required extra security. Now I cannot get the ethernet connection to work when back home. The wireless connection works fine. What are the original ethernet proxy settings. How do I make the changes?
Thanks

From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Advanced tab. Click Change Settings next to Proxies. Select Automatically from the Configure pop up menu.
You may also have to select the Proxies tab. If any of the boxes are selected, deselect then click OK.

Proxy Settings for WebService invocation

Hi,
I have a bean which is exposed as a WebService on WebAS on a machine A. Within this bean, I call another WebService, which is NOT running on WebAS but on Axis on another machine B.
For the call to the WebService I have NOT generated a proxy in Netweaver Developer Studio, but have created the Stub with Axis WSDL2Java tool. (When I tried to generate the proxies in Developer Studio it would say there was a problem during generation, without giving any details).
When I call the Axis WebService from a browser on machine A, everything works fine, provided that I've set the right proxy settings.
I can also use the generated Stubs to call the service. However, when I call it from within the beans running in WebAs, I get a timeout, obviously due to inadequate proxy settings in WebAS.
Now, I've searched through the administration guide and tried to do the configuration as described in
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/7c/f257422d095542e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
But this showed no effect. I also restarted the server to ensure that the configuration is updated properly.
(As a test I also tried to change the WS Clients Socket timeout, but for some reason this timeout did not change when I had restarted the server and tried the Web Service again (from Web Service Navigator). So I don't even know if I am configuring the right settings..)
Does anybody have an idea what I'm doing wrong or which other configuration I might have to set?
Thanks alot for any help..
Katrin.

Hello Katrin,
did you solve your problem mentioned above?
If yes, could you please describe me, what kind of settings you have made in the visual admin to test the webservice without connection time out?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Kind regards, Patrick.

Is it possible to have different settings for different podcasts?

I know that you can change the setting for podcasts on iTunes - things like how often they're checked for new episodes and whether they're all kept or deleted after listening.
But some podcasts are more timely, like news programs, and I would like to delete those when they get old. Others are "keepers" and I would like to keep them indefinitely. I know I can go back and manually delete individual episodes, but that's kind of a pain.
So is it possible to change the settings for individual podcasts?
Thanks.

Thanks. There is an option for allowing or not allowing auto-delete, which looks like it may be what I want. I'm giving it a try.

Admin_client.jar 10.1.3.1.0 and changing JVM settings for OC4J in opmn.xml

Just now briefly looked at admin_client.jar 10.1.3.1.0. It appears that there is new functionality to create/alter and interrogate (J2EE) resources in this utility. This partially answers my other question, as stated in Jython support in Oracle Application Server 10g R3 (10.1.3)
(Would be nice to get a definitive answer on scripting though)
Anyway...
As a follow-up question. Will there also be functionality (or is there already functionality) which lets me change JVM settings of OC4J components as they are declared in the opmn.xml, using only command line (and/or scripting) tools?
Thanks

Jan -- there is no out of the box command line utility that can amend the JVM settings for an OC4J instance.
As Deepak alluded to, it is possible to do this using JMX because all the OPMN configuration elements are all reachable from JMX. This means you can create whatever Java JMX client you desire to modify the settings, or use a scripting environment which provides nice support for JMX (for example Groovy with its GroovyMBean) to access and use the OpmnConfig MBean set to change the OPMN configuration values.
Asanka -- the 10.1.3.1 release has lots of capability in ASC to manage the OPMN settings from a browser -- including modifying all the JVM settings (things like heap, System properties, etc.) as well as OC4J switches (-userThreads, etc.)
cheers

I am using a work laptop and have the same problem. When I try to change the "configure proxy", they only available option is "use this proxy server for all protocols". Could it be that my system administrator blocked me from changing it since they don't want us to use Firefox.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")
