Proxy Credentials In AIR

Hi Guys,
I know that Adobe AIR gest the proxy details from the OS automatically, thats fine. Is that information possible to obtain in the rest of the program at runtime?
Thanks
Jaz

Jaz,
AIR does not expose APIs to read the system proxy settings.

  • Itunes 11 and above. Proxy credentials

    How do i get itunes 11 and above to ask for proxy credentials like they did in 10.7?

    If you have a 4G iPod (one with cameras) you can only go to iOS 6.2.1 and that requires iTunes 10.7 or above.
    If you have a 3G you can go to 5.5.1 with iTunes 10.5 or later.
    A 2G can only go to 4.2.1

    you can update on another computer with the right version of iTunes but you will not be able to sync with your computer unless you update iTunes on your computer.

  • Proxy credentials not remembered

    Dear all
    please be assured we have tried many, many things already, including clearing caches, keychains, even fresh installs. We have many, many macs in use at our College, a good number of which suffer from this issue.
    The OSX version varies, as does the model of Macbook, but the problem is often the same. The proxy credentials are in the keychain but Safari, App Store, Chrome and other apps do not seem to 'find' them. Alternatively I have tried assigning the proxy settings against HTTP and HTTPS proxy config in the Network System Preference pane, again this does not help. We also have a WPAD file in place so that auto proxy configuration works. And work it does! But sadly, while I can see that the autoconfig is working because the correct proxy server requests credentials, this method still does not cause the Macbook(s) to retrieve and use credentials.
    This only seems to affect HTTPS connections, e.g. to https://www.google.co.uk - which of course is Safari's default in-line search.
    My only clue so far is a line from the system log on one of the Macbooks, but it doesn't really give a fix - again this line is only generated and the problem seen when attempting to access an HTTPS site:
    Nov 11 11:43:19 usersmacbook.ourdomain.com ocspd[411]: Authentication challenge received for "proxy.ourdomain.com:8080", unable to obtain proxy server credential from System keychain.
    Please be assured the credentials are most definitely there!
    Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated - particularly with the frightening rate at which the number of students using Macbooks seems to be growing!
    Kind regards
    Richard

    Yup:-
    Just the same:-
    Nov 11 11:16:41 teds-new-mac.ad.mycompany.co.uk ocspd[537]: Authentication challenge received for "10.203.39.212:8080", unable to obtain proxy server credential from System keychain.
    Nov 11 11:16:45 teds-new-mac.ad.mycompany.co.uk ocspd[537]: Authentication challenge received for "10.203.39.212:8080", unable to obtain proxy server credential from System keychain.
    Nov 11 11:16:52 teds-new-mac.ad.mycompany.co.uk ocspd[537]: Authentication challenge received for "10.203.39.212:8080", unable to obtain proxy server credential from System keychain.
    I'm at a loss.
    Safari won't go on to ANY HTTPS address:- Swithched to Firefox which seems quite happy with it all.
    Also, when I try the APP STORE, it generates multiple entries of the same line, and brings up the following box:-
    The following line also appears in Console (system log):-
    Nov 11 12:56:19 teds-new-mac.ad.mycompany.co.uk ocspd[1336]: You can specify the username and password for a proxy server with /usr/bin/security. Example:  sudo security add-internet-password -a squiduser -l "HTTP Proxy" -P 3128 -r 'http' -s localhost -w squidpass -U -T /usr/sbin/ocspd /Library/Keychains/System.keychain
    So it's DEFINITELY looking in the system keychain.
    Q.
    This seems too easy - but would copying the entry from login keychain and pasting it into system keychain solve the problem?
    Or would it totally screw things up?

  • Is it possible to Cache Proxy Credentials in J2RE

    Our users access the internet through a proxy server that requires authentication. When users access an internet site that contains Java content the J2RE requests for Proxy credentials. I underestand why this happens but have the following questions...
    1. Is it possible to get J2RE to cache the credentials for future use? This would save users typing their login info each time they access a site with Java content.
    2. Is J2RE able to use the cached proxy credentials used by Internet Explorer? This would save the user having to authenticate more than once to the proxy server.
    Any suggestions or explanations are greatly appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Timshel

    This would not be a direct fault of forms; this is a SQL*Net problem (the forms runtime is communicating with the database over 500km via SQL*Net). Try the same with SQL*Plus...pulling data over small bandwith networks via SQL*Net doesn't make much fun (and I doubt SQL*Net is designed for this).
    Next thing is I wouldn't even consider to expose the database at this level in the network; the clients don't need to know about the database, they just need the application server, so you only need to expose the application server to the public and keep your database behind bars.
    @OP if you are experiencing performance problems this might be related to network roundtrips;
    what I would do is to check for unnecessary roundtrips and enable networkstats in the formsweb.cfg (search the forum for "networkstats") to see the actual roundtrips. Another thing would be to create a little testform and see if at least dummy forms are performing well. If even the dummy forms have bad performance your connection is too poor to run webforms over them (and you can spare you the pain of searching unnecessary roundtrips).
    cheers

  • Hello... what is authenticating proxy credentials to install a software that I bought to install???

    hello... what is authenticating proxy credentials to install a software that I bought to install???

    Hi jo lia-lu,
    Are you connected to a managed network conected to internet proxy?
    Either the proxy server doesn’t require authentication, or the proxy relies upon the NTLM/Kerberos authentication schemes which permit users’ Windows logon credentials to be automatically used to respond to challenges from the proxy server.
    Please contact your IT personnel for help in getting the access credentials for the authenticating proxy.

  • How to change proxy credentials in Firefox?

    Hello,
    One of our staff recently changed her password which is used for the proxy.
    I've updated the credentials in network preferences and it seems to work fine for other browsers (Chrome and Safari) but Firefox does not seem to work.
    All other settings in FF should be correct.
    Can anyone tell me how to update credentials for the proxy?
    Thanks in advance.
    Side note: this is on a Mac

    I believe changing the proxy for firefox is the same on a mac as with window. You can go to the network settings and change it from there, and I believe firefox will ask to use the settings, otherwise you can go to Settings>Options>Advanced>Network and then on the top will be place that says configure how firefox connects to the internet. Hit that settings button and you can then configure it all. At the bottom of there, there is a button that says "Do not prompt for authentication if the password is saved". I would clear that box because that is probably why her authentication isn't working. Once she has put in new authentication, it should ask if you want to update it. Thats when you can go back there and check the button to not prompt for authentication if the password is saved.
    Just in case this was way to long, or didn't make sense, I have a couple screenshots. These were taken on my windows computer, not my mac but it will be the same thing.

  • Best practice to deploy some secret credentials in AIR app

    Hi,
    Can someone suggest the best practice way to deploy some
    secret credentials in an AIR app please?
    For example, network connection settings or passwords ?
    In my particular case (and since this is only for testing)
    I'd like to deploy a password in an AIR app. So is there any way to
    effectively deploy an encrypted store with the app ? (hope that
    makes sense!)
    Tks,
    Alex

    I think the best practice is not to do it. You can't deploy
    an encrypted local
    store file to another computer. You could encrypt the
    information some other
    way, but that just moves the problem. If you have a server,
    you could have the
    app connect to the server to get the sensitive information
    and put it into the
    ELS (ideally through HTTPS).

  • Proxy configuration in AIR Application

    Flex/AIR Applications use Default Browser's Connection
    setting(Proxy configuration) to connect to Server/Remote Systems.
    This mechanism is ok.. in case of Browser based applications.
    But, in case of Desktop based AIR application, my application may
    need to connect to some Non-Standard ports(not 80,443).. For that I
    need to use a different proxy setting than that of my browser.
    But, I didn't find any mechanism to set the proxy
    configuration in my application.
    Can anyone please suggest me the workaround for this??

  • Disable Proxy on Adobe AIR

    For an Enterprise Deployment, we would like to disable proxy on AIR even if it is set on the system.
    How can this be achieved in Adobe AIR?
    Thanks.

    Unfortunately, I don't have a definitive list of AIR based applications.  I'm sure you're aware, but the AIR runtime is only used when an application requires it.  It's also possible, with our captive runtime option, for an application to be built that includes it's own copy of the runtime.
    I believe that the Adobe suite installer (and possibly other online installers) also use AIR. Once installed, AIR might not be used again.  Again, this really depends on the application.
    When you mention that your company is looking to "slimming down our desktop loads", are you talking about system performance, drive space, or something else?

  • How to set proxy credentials to access wms services in Oracle Mapviewer

    Hi,
    I use Oracle Mapviewer v. 11_1_1_4 and I want to access WMS service but my LAN uses a proxy server that requires authentication.
    The mapviewer configuration file doesn't allow setting 'user' and 'password' proxy parameters. Other threads report this problem like the following:
    https://forums.oracle.com/thread/620366
    The previous thread is five years old. Are there other solutions now? Does last mapviewer allow users setting proxy authentication?
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks,
    Arturo

    go to commons-httpclient-3.1\docs\tutorial.html. In the left hand side you will get a link named as " user guide" and under that "Authentication Guide" link. check it out.

  • Using AIR-restricted Proxy?

    Hi all, I want to know how I will be able to use proxy inside an AIR HTML component without having to set the system's proxy itself. I want the proxy only on my AIR application.
    Thanks in advance to those who'd help!

    Just bumping this question back up since I still need help on this.

  • Use keymgr.dll credentials for firefox proxy

    I am accessing the web trough a proxy.
    The thing is that since I'm logged into a domain, the domain user I have has restricted proxy access.
    However, If I use a different user to log into the proxy I do get access since this user has no proxy restrictions.
    I finally was able to use this different cproxy credentials by using control keymgr.dll on windows, as far as I understand it basically logs using the stored credentials when attempting to go to some site (in this case myproxy.whatever.com)
    The thing is that If i use firefox to browse, it apparently attempts to use the domain user/ password when accessing to the proxy so it has restricted access.
    So I can think of two solutions, but I need help so here are the questions:
    Solution a).- How to force firefox to ask for authentication cedentials when accessing to the proxy?
    Solution b).- How to use the keymgr.dll credentials (same way that IE does) to firefox when attempting to access proxy?
    or, possible solution c).- how to and where to store proxy credentials for firefox?

    Peter, the autheticated user is available from the portal request object. Get that one in your application and read from the UME all the properties you wanna get and build your web service call with it. It looks for me straight forward, what exactly is your problem?

  • How do I add Macbook air to my windows network and how do I connect to windows shares from said Macbook?

    Finally, I have a "clued in" boss who wanted a Macbook air.  I have it, and I can get to the internet by supplying the correct proxy credentials.  My issue is trying to connect him to windows shares on my network?  I know how to do this cold for adding a PC, But need some 101 on how to take this awesome macbook air and add it to the domain and how to get connected to various shares within my DOMAIN.  as well as use network printers (I assume that is pretty easy). . .  I should add that I can ping the servers in question, I am just not familiar with how to connect to them via Mac. . .I am sure this is laughably easy, I am the king of making things difficult, I swear!
    Thanks for any and all help as usual!!
