Problem: hidden proxy server?

Need help with this email I just received on my .MAC account - what does it mean? Should I just ignore it, delete the message, or is there something I should be checking to prevent it from happening again? I have NOT downloaded the attachment.
Thank you. DJ

  • Communication problem with proxy server

    Hi,
    I am not sure whether you have already solved the problem or not....
    Do the following to deploy MobileBIService.war file on tomcat
    1.Stop Tomcat Web application server.
    2.Copy the file, MobileBIService.war from [Install directory]\Mobile 14\Client to the Tomcat's "Webapps" directory.
    In my case, I copied the MobileBIService.war from C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Mobile14\Client to C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Tomcat6\webapps. ( I used BO 4.0 SP02)
    3.     Start Tomcat.
    Restarting Tomcat would automatically deploy war file as a Web App
    One folder u201CMobileBiServiceu201D will appear in webapps folder when MobileBIService.war is deployed successfully.
    Hope it helps.

  • Proxy Problem The proxy server is refusing connections

    I run Windows XP. I did have a Cybot backdoor Activity attack intercepted by Norton Internet Security and I used the Norton NPE to remove it from the computer. I do not know if this caused the proxy problem or not.
    There is no proxy problem connecting to the internet through Internet Explorer just through Mozilla Firefox.
    When Mozilla Firefox tries to connect to the internet I get the following message:
    Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections.
    Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct.
    Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is
    working.
    In Mozilla I click Tools, options, advanced, network, settings. Under settings Proxy is set on manual, it says that there is no proxy for the figures typed in.
    So I click auto detect proxy and I then can connect to internet through Mozilla, however when I log out of the internet, the same proxy server issue is recreated.
    What should the Proxy setting be?

    You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
    If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy"
    See "Firefox connection settings":

  • Certificate problem in Proxy Server (ODSEE 11g)

    I am having a problem adding a CA Certificate to the Proxy Server. I followed the steps in the documentation, however I get the error: "keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Public keys in reply and keystore don't match".
    From what I have read, this error means that the alias name I am using when I add the new certificate is already being used. As per the documentation...
    When you request a CA-signed certificate, a temporary self-signed certificate is created. When you receive and install the CA-signed certificate from the CA, the new certificate replaces the temporary self-signed certificate.
    ... and this does happen. However when I bring in the new cert to replace... I get the mentioned error.
    If I use a different alias, it doesn't give me an error. However, I can't see it when I use the "dpadm list-certs" command (although it is there when I use the keytool command). More importantly, the "defaultservercert" is still the certificate being used when accessing the server.
    So the big question is... How do I get the Proxy Server to use the new CA Certificate?
    I've tried using the keytool command in many different ways, and it fails each time. Lesson learned: don't mess with the keystore via keytool. Any changes made are not recognized by the Proxy Server.
    I don't have access to this Proxy Server via DSCC because I do not have the password for the account running the services (a restriction made by the client), so it all to be done via CLI.
    The operating system is Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 s10s_u10wos_17b SPARC.
    Here are some outputs:

    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")

  • There is a problem with the security certificate of the proxy server. Error code 18 and 38.

    Hi All,
    After several hours and a short night of sleep I'm out of ideas and hopefully someone here can help me trying to solve this one. First of all the situation:
    Exchange 2013 on a remote location with a CA-certificate.
    Outlook 2010 and 2013 on different locations, locally installed and on RDS.
    When I open Outlook on my laptop all is fine, no errors, good sync, no problem. But when I open Outlook on our Remote Desktop Servers with Outlook 2013 I'm getting errors like "There is a problem with the security certificate of the proxy server. The
    name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site. Outlook is unable to connect to this server. (Error code 18)". Opening Outlook 2010 the message is the same, but the error code now is 38.
    After this Outlook opens and is working, there's one more error though. After a while an security warning pops up with the message: "Information you exchange with this site cannot be viewed or changed by others. However, there is a problem with the
    site's security certificate. * The security certificate was issued by a company you have not chosen to trust. View the certificate to determine whether you want to trust the certifying authority. * The security certificate is valid. * The name on the security
    certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site."
    Strangest thing is, it is the certificate of my RDS! It isn't my valid en officially bought certificate from my mailserver. What's going on? I'm out of options, what I've tried so far (in random order):
    - restarting mailserver and AD;
    - restarting switches;
    - restarting routers;
    - restarting RDS, AD and all other servers;
    - bypassed proxyserver for RDS;
    - created a new profile;
    - checked recently installed updates;
    - checked certificate on mailserver;
    - checked RDS on a different location, working fine.
    Nothing helped, what can I do next? Please advice.
    Regards.

    Found a thread that solves half my problem (https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/70d18244-889a-4d95-ac3f-e234672a82b2/there-is-a-problem-with-the-proxy-servers-security-certificate-error-when-starting-outlook?forum=exchangesvrclients).
    The first message can be suppressed by adding this to the Exchange config:
    set-outlookprovider -Identity EXCH -CertprincipalName msstd:webmail.domain.tld
    set-outlookprovider -Identity EXPR -CertprincipalName msstd:webmail.domain.tld
    Giving the command get-outlookprovider, gives me empty information regarding the certprinipalname. Filled
    this and after recreating the profile or deleting the ost-file I still have the second alert with the local certificate of my RDS.
    Not completely where I want to be, any help regarding the second alert is greatly appreciated!

  • My Firefox no longer works, it will not go to any website and offers the message "The proxy server is rejecting connections". I had the same problem in IExplorer but was able to fix it. I did not choose a proxy server, ever. How do I fix this in Firefox?

    I changed out my wireless router, from a Linksys to a Netgear. Everything seemed to work fine, but shortly afterward Firefox could not be used to find any websites, and gave me the message above. The same happened with Internet Explorer, but a tech representative for my ISP directed me to the page where "proxy server" was incorrectly checked and it fixed the problem. I don't know where to go in Firefox to find the same or a similar page. My laptop continued to work fine for some time after, but eventually developed the same problem. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, with no luck, and all desktop shortcuts based on Firefox are inoperative. I just keep getting the message that the proxy server is rejecting connections. Since I did not select a proxy server, I don't know how to deselect it.

    No idea what "tried everything" means.
    Here is how you troubleshoot a password problem.
    Go to your email providers web mail page and verify that you have a working username and password by logging into your account there. If you cannot log in there, look for the link to reset your password. Your email password is administered with your email provider.
    Once you have a working password you need to remove any stored passwords in Thunderbird and replace with the new, working password.
    From the menu bar select''' Tools-Options-Security-Passwords-Stored Passwords'''
    Remove the passwords for the problem account. Close Thunderbird and restart it. You will be asked for a password. Enter the new password.
    No menu bar with Tools? Press the '''alt '''key.
    FYI: Thunderbird settings are stored in a different file from the program. Removing the program and reinstalling just keeps you busy for a little while and rarely fixes anything. As you have seen the old settings are picked up when Thunderbird is reinstalled.

  • Version 3.6.6 and Internet explorer will not load sites, so I reloaded the older 3.6.3 of firefox and websites load fine. Internet Explorer still will not load. The error message corresponding with 3.6.6 was that there were problems with the proxy serve

    Upgraded to 3.6.6 and no sites loaded, error in proxy server. Internet explorer will not load either. Reloaded firefox 3.6.3 and sites load fine, but internet explorer still will not load. I was only able to connect to yahoo messenger when websites were not loading.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I upgraded to 3.6.6

    I have a problem with Firefox loading. It will not load and it says Firefox is using a proxy that refuses connection. Check with your network administrator. How do I get Firefox to work. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it twice. Any help would be great thanks.

  • Safari cannot open the page ~ The error was: "There was a problem communicating with the web proxy server (HTTP)

    Help!  I was cruzing along just fine and went out tonight only to receive the message above:
    Cannot open Page
    Safari cannot open the page
    The error was: "There was a problem communicating with the web proxy server (HTTP)."
    I have had all the Apple iPhone phone.  Have never encountered anything like this. 
    All systems are GO as soon as I log on to wifi. 
    Can anyone help, please. 

    I am also fixed.  I also loaded Onavo, but that was the other day ... this is what I did with the help of online chat with AT&T ...
    I went to:
    Settings
    Wifi
    I selected the network I was working on by hitting the blue arrow located on right side
    At the detail page of that network I scolled down to the bottom to find HTTP Proxy boxes
    I was on Off and changed it to Auto and it worked! 
    I was soo jazzed!!
    Instructions said if it was already on AUTO, to change it to Manual and make your Port = 80 but I didn't have to do that!
    YIPPIE!!  I'm a new man!!
    Go to settings -----> WI-FI  -----> select the network you're using  ------> hit the blue arrow located on the right-side of the network name (ie: show details of that network), this takes you to another page.  
    --------> at the bottom of the page you'll see "HTTP Proxy" boxes (located below the "renew lease" button) ---------------> change the proxy to AUTO.   Note: if you're already at AUTO, change it to "Manual" and make your Port = 80.

  • Intermittent proxy error "There is a problem with the proxy server's security certificate. Outlook is unable to connect to the proxy server "

    Hi all,
    From time to time (at least once a day), the following message pops up on the user's screen:
    "There is a problem with the proxy server's security certificate. Outlook is unable to connect to the proxy server . Error Code 80000000)."
    If we click "OK" it goes away and everything continues to work although sometimes Outlook disconnects. It is quite annoying...
    Any ideas?
    Thank you in advance

    Hi,
    For the security alert issue, I'd like to recommend you check the name in the alert windows, and confirm if the name is in your certificate.
    Additionally, to narrow down the cause, when the Outlook client cannot connect again, I recommand you firstly check the connectivity by using Test E-mail AutoConfiguration. For more information, you can refe to the following article:

  • There is a problem with the proxy server's security certificate. The name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the target site "Mailserver"

    Good day Guys
    First of all I am not an Exchange Expert, and I might be asking a very stupid question, but please bare with me. :) 
    While I was on leave our Mail server fell over and The company got a Specialist to help out for the time being.
    We where\are on Microsoft Exchange 2007 , which Fell over, and the specialist was able to recover as much data as he could.
    They then installed Exchange 2013 and tried to migrate everything from 2007 to 2013 and not everything migrated over.
    But the problem is, Outlook Anywhere was enable on 2007 and worked a 100% (before the disaster)
    With Exchange 2013 I get the following error message when trying to connect With Outlook 2013, using an external connection:
    "There is a problem with the proxy server's security certificate. The name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the target site "Mailserver"
    Outlook is unable to connect to the Proxy server. (Error Code 0)"
    Has anyone had the Similar when migrating over from 2007 to 2013 or is this an Issue on IIS and nothing to do with Exchange migration?
    Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    Firstly, I would suggest we use Exchange 2013 FE as the Outlook Anywhere proxy server.
    For the certificate issue, it mostly occurs because the host name that Outlook are trying to access does not match the certificate SAN. Please check with this point. If they do not match, you
    can change the host name by referring to the following article:

  • Problem in installing Directory Proxy server

    Hi all! Recently downloaded the trial version of sun one directory proxy server. After installing the sun one DS 5.2 . I tried to install sun one proxy server..when it asks for configuration server information i have given the admin id and password ....
    but it gave me following error message
    "The given Administrator Id/password combination was not accepted by the
    Configuration Directory Server.
    The Sun ONE configuration directory administrator is the ID typically used to
    log in to the console."
    I did used the same id and password to login to console & i am able to log in.
    Please advice.

    Two quick hints.
    First off, instead of hitting <Enter> to accept the default for the username [admin], type "admin" (without the quotes) as if you were giving different credentials. There's a known issue during the installation where the default text doesn't work.
    Additionally, I had to change my admin password in the configuration directory to cleartext in order to get it to work. For some reason the password encryption during the bind was never successful. To do that:
    dn: uid=admin,ou=Administrators,ou=TopologyManagement,o=NetscapeRoot
    changetype: modify
    replace: userPassword
    userPassword: {CLEAR}password
    I have no idea if this addresses the problem itself or just a symptom, but it did allow me to install DPS. You might want to give it a shot.

  • Facing severe problem in IE10 of automatically getting clicked on "use a proxy server" every 5 minutes in LAN Settings whereas it is not required to use any proxy server at all when directly connected through ISP broadband.

    Using Window 8 Pro with IE 10 but facing tremendous problem in LAN settings. Every 5 minutes, it automatically gets clicked on "Use a Proxy Server for the LAN" and am unable to open any page unless the said setting is unclicked. The same applies
    while using Chrome or Firefox browsers.... none of the browsers behave properly and have to repeatedly unclick on proxy server settings (in IE or Chrome) and change settings on Firefox.
    Any suggestions to get rid of this problem...??? Thanks

    Hi,
    It seemed that some malware changed your registry which make proxy server enabled.
    Did you install any proxy agent software recently? If you did, please try uninstalling it now. And then make a full scan
    with malware removal tool.
    http://www.microsoft.com/security/pc-security/malware-removal.aspx
    Or locate to registry,
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings, set "ProxyEnable" = dword:00000000.
