ML Server: How do i push my school proxy settings to our ML clients?

I'm in profile manager and can see the option for proxy settings when using wifi, but we dont want to use wifi we want to use ethernet only, of which the options then dissapears to entere proxy details!!
Can someone please help solve this ridiculous problem apple have created
Thanks

The best way to do this is to use a feature invented by Microsoft (gasp!). Microsoft invented something called 'Web Proxy Autodiscovery' (WPAD). With this setup on your network the computers both Windows and Mac can 'autodiscover' the presence of a proxy server and the settings needed to use it.
Originally, OS X could not use WPAD, however I (yes moi) was able to persuade Apple to add support for this and it is available in Snow Leopard (10.6), Lion, (10.7), and Mountain Lion (10.8). You can turn it on by opening System Preferences, clicking on the Network icon, selecting Ethernet interface on the left, unlocking the padlock at the bottom, then clicking on the Advanced... button on the right, and then going to the Proxies tab at the top. You need to turn on only 'Auto Proxy Discovery' option. You do not want to use Automatic Proxy Configuration.
There is one final step, WPAD can work in one of two different ways, it can either provide the settings via DHCP and point your computer to the address of the .pac (proxy auto config file), or it uses a sepcific webpage address based on your networks domain name (the DNS method). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Proxy_Autodiscovery_Protocol
I strongly recommend using the DHCP method. This requires setting your DHCP server up to advertise via the DHCP option code 252
It is possible to setup Apple's own DHCP server with a DHCP option code 252 but you need to manually edit the /etc/bootpd.plist file to do this. This ability to define DHCP option codes using Apple's DHCP server was added by Apple again in response to one of my suggestions. I have also written a utility to make it easier to generate the code you need for this.
Most DHCP servers built-in to routers cannot do DHCP option codes but Linux, Unix, Windows Server, and as mentioned above Apple Server all can.

    How do you apply the school proxy settings to the ipad to filter website searches?

    Hi Stebop1987,
    You will want to apply a configuration profile with Global HTTP proxy settings to your proxy server. Use Apple Configurator or an MDM to deploy the configuration profile to your fleet of iPads. I recommend you contact your web filter provider for detials on what proxy details to enter in the configuration profile (type, server, port, username, password).
    Hope this helps!

  • How to stop Quicktime using IE Proxy Settings

    Hi there,
    My company's Proxy Server (Microsft ISA Server) requires Windows Integrated authentication which Quicktime does not support so QT web access fails.
    We have a Winsock Proxy component installed on the clent but for this to come into play we need to configure Quicktime not to use IE Proxy Settings as otherwise QT tries to talk to the Proxy server and cannot authenticate.
    I have spent a number of hours looking into this but cannot find any way to do this. I know a lot of app's allow you to turn off using IE's Proxy settings and wanted to se if anyone knew how to do this with QT.
    Thanks in advance for any help on this,

    Why not just right-click and save the linked file to your computer?
    Open the .mp3 with any app you choose.
    You can disable the QuickTime plug-in from playing .mp3 files in a browser window by opening the QT Control Panel/Advanced and click the MIME Settings button. Remove the check mark for the .mp3 format and restart your browser for this change to take effect.

  • How Can I pre-configure the proxy settings in Acrobat 8?

    We use a proxy server to authenticate users and it's causing a problem for our e-licensing. Is there a place to pre-configure the proxy settings / login and password for the e-licensing to happen quietly so our users don't have to see it?

    Have you searched the forum for proxy? I do not have an answer, but this has been discussed before. I am not sure there is an answer in the discussions, but it is worth a try. There is likely a knowledgebase article on the issue also. Good luck.

  • How to find the system's proxy settings programatically

    Hi,
    I am creating a ABAP class which acts as a HTTP client and thus I use the standard object  "call method cl_http_client=>create_by_url". This method takes the proxy host and proxy port as input and i want to know how can I find the proxy settings of my system programatically so that I do not ask customers to add these values as configurations for my code.
    Is there any standard API in ABAP to find this information?

  • How do i change my network proxy settings on iTunes?

    Hi,
    I've been using a certain proxy to connect to the iTunes store on my PC iTunes.
    Now, the proxy details have changed, i already update the new details on the Internet Options (Windows Control Panel) and now i'm trying to update the proxy settings on iTunes. But it not prompting for a new one like before, and i think it because i selected remember passwword previously.
    How do i reset these settings so i can enter the new proxy settings. iTunes keeps on telling me to check my network connection.
    Thanks in advance.

    Authorization
    iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
    Deauthorization
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
    For more information on authorization and de-authorization: iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.

  • How to call a text FTP proxy service from a Java client ?

    Greetings,
    I've configured a text FTP proxy service which downloads files from a FTP server. It pols a directory on the FTP server and, as soon as a file respecting a given pattern apears it is downloaded. I tested the service in the test console and by putting some test files onto the FTP server. Now, I need to be able to test it from a Java client. How may I do that ? I need to write a Java client to connect to the OSB and to tell to it to use the FTP proxy in order to download a given file, from a given location and to put it in a given location on the client machine. Many thanks in advance for any help. A sample would be great !
    Kind regards,
    Nicolas

    Ok, I understand. The crucial question here is "what is a caller that you refer to?"
    Don't get me wrong, but the problem here is that you probably don't understand, what OSB is good for. OSB is an event-driven system. The event in your case is a new message in remote FTP server. You have to define what should happen when that event is fired. And that's all. You don't have to involve other client (or caller) for this case.
    You should define your FTP proxy to retrieve all relevant files from FTP server and then you should route them based on their name/content/encoding/whatever to different consumers. You can also have many proxies if you want - one for each name. It's up to you. But you don't have any "callers" in either case.

  • 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.

    Hi
    there's a location services checkbox in Safari-Preferences-Security
    and one in System Preferences-Security-General
    However, many websites look at the country location of the isp connection you're using, which is a different matter, & not in control of the user. Some sites allow choosing a personal language/location setting, stored in a cookie.

  • How do I set my MMS proxy settings on iOS 7.1?

    I have an iPhone 4S, which has been upgraded to iOS 7.1. I'm on a pay-as-you-go carrier (Red Pocket Mobile) and have configured my iPhone for all other data situations with one exception: I cannot send Multimedia messages to people without iPhones.
    Everywhere I look they say "Oh just edit your MMS Proxy settings" and then to do all this:
    Enter the main menu.
    Select "Settings".
    Select "Cellular" and "Cellular Data Network".
    Scroll to "MMS".
    Scroll to and select "APN" and enter att.mvno.
    Scroll to and select "MMSC" and enterhttp://mmsc.cingular.com.
    Scroll to and select "MMS Proxy".
    Enter 66.209.11.33 :80.
    Press "Cellular" to complete.
    Press the "Home" button to return to the main menu.
    Your phone has been configured.
    Note: Switch the phone off and on again
    The problem with the above, and everwhere else you see it, is that they obviously are not familar with iOS 7.1. You cannot access your "Cellular Data Network" from "Cellular" nor can you edit any of the cellular settings or MMS settings as far as I can tell, or see. Can anyone help me with this? It's important for my work, and for my personal life.

  • Itunes and proxy settings. Itunes keeps the proxy setting from IE and I can't adapt it due to company policy. How can I force itunes to use firefox?

    itunes can not connect to server and I can't find its proxy settings.
    So I think it uses these from IE and those are blocked by company policy.
    So, how can I force itunes to use the firefox settings

    I fixed this issue (with help from tech support) and it involved several things.
    After adding a song to iTunes, right-click on the song in iTunes and select "Update iTunes Match."
    OR go to the iTunes menu-->Store-->Update iTunes Match.
    Maybe that's the reason, it just hadn't updated to the cloud.
    OR maybe it's not a high-enough bitrate file.   This happens to me because most of my tunes are home-recorded.
    Sometimes converting to .mp3 or Create AAC version might work. (You do this with a right-click in iTunes, and then you will want to remove the original file from iTunes.)
    There is an iTunes Preferences setting, under General Preferences called Import Settings.  Try setting it to AAC Encoder and iTunes Plus.   That (I think) causes imports to be slightly better quality.
    Good luck!  The tech support person at Apple is requesting that a knowlege-base article be written about this.

  • 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
