Proxy settings not holding in 10.3.9 on G5's

Hello all,
I have some G5's that were built by another company to their SOE and I am having issues with them not using the proxy settings I have put into network prefs.
We use a proxy server to get to the net and I have put the correct settings in but Software update doesn't work and Safari doesn't either.
Firefox was on the machine also so I put the proxy setting into it (into it's prefs) and it took the setting OK and got to the net.
It's as if the underlying system won't take notice of the proxy settings.
Any ideas guys ?

Problem solved !

IOS 5/iPad 2 proxy settings not being remembered

I recently upgraded one of my iPad 2's to iOS 5, but I seem to be having an issue the Wi-Fi connection in work. The wireless network has a hidden SSID and it requires some Manual proxy settings being put into the wireless config.
When I input the relevant information it seems to hold fine for a few seconds but when I go into Safari it prompts for an https:// proxy username and password, if I input the correct details it just prompts again and no matter how many times I input the correct information it still prompts for it over and over again, to the point that you just have to switch the wireless off to stop the message from flashing up.
I have an iPad 2 on iOS 4.3.5 and the same setting work perfectly fine on this iPad 2 but will not work on iOS 5.
I have even tried a Linksys Wireless Access Point plugged into the network with no hidden SSID etc and I still get the same thing on the iOS 5 iPad 2 it continually prompts for the proxy details, but the iOS 4.3.5 iPad2 works fine.
Is this a known glitch or am I just being a total idiot : ( ?

There are no work-arounds, there are no fixes, and no... updating to iOS 5.0.1 will not help you. This is broken and Apple needs to fix it. No "consumerisation" will not win, and our Network admin will NOT remove proxy authentication from the network to make it work. That's what Apple want me to do, and it's not happening. Here's the deal:
1. There is a difference between a HTTP proxy and a HTTPS proxy, of course, and Apple ONLY let you supply a configuration (using "Manual") for a HTTP connection. Not HTTPS. That's the problem.
2. As such, any request to a secure site (which a LOT of apps use, including Apple's own in-built ones) will fail. As soon as the connection for HTTPS is required, you will get an authentication prompt. The iPhone/iPad CAN NOT use the credentials assigned to the HTTP Proxy for the HTTPS Proxy... they are different. On a Mac (running OSX), these are definately two separate items you need to configure in the network settings and store in the KeyChain. Aple either need to write the "Manual" Proxy setting as both a HTTP and HTTPS connection (using the same KeyChain entry), or allow a HTTPS Proxy to also be specified. I favour the first option for simplicity - though it is not "standard".
3. In iOS4, Apple also supplied a "Manual" setting with a "HTTP Proxy" setting. The big difference in that case is that requests to HTTPS sites, which would require a HTTPS Proxy connection (which was not supported), were simply IGNORED or attempted to get the data using ANONYMOUS access... which in almost all enterprises with proxy servers is flat-out denied. In iOS4 your app would have a spinning wheel forever or would crash when trying to hit a HTTPS site for updates etc. In iOS4 more apps simply didn't work, but failed in a nice and quiet way. This has changed to "allowed" in iOS5, as it now is HTTPS aware and attempts to respond to Proxy auth challenges... but Apple have not provided a way to store a username and password for that connection, so you get an authentication box.
After I installed iOS5, I had my iPad on my desk all day but didn't get a chance to use it. That night I had about forty (40) of those prompts to cancel before I could use the device. Very frustrating. Even if you enter the correct username and password the million times it asks for it, you STILL get prompts... all the time. There is no good answer. If you're lucky enough to fluke a configuration and set of apps that only require HTTP connections, then you'll have no issues. That, from my experience, would be exceedingly rare.
There are three (3) possible answers here;
a) Get the network administrator to turn off authenticated proxy for the entire site. Good luck with that one.
b) Implement a solution using DHCP/TMG/Websense (or whatever your network and security products may be), or use a product like NetBox Blue. If you don't have a solution like NetBox, you'll need to set DHCP reservations for each device by MAC Address, then configure that IP Range to be "unauthenticated" in terms of the proxy server/firewall, and then specify the range an a set of categories for that new typ of conenction (if using web filtering). That will let you do MAC address authentication and bypass the authenticated proxy. This is what we've had to do - and it *****.
c) Wait for Apple to fix the issue. Like I said earlier, they'll either need to repurpose the "HTTP Proxy" option as "HTTP(S) Proxy" and allow HTTPS challenge responses to proxies via the one KeyChain item... or supply a second "HTTPS Proxy" option we can specify under "Manual". It's a fault in their software. To be honest... I preferred it when HTTPS traffic was just blocked (as in iOS4).

Windows - Use system proxy settings not working as expected

Hi everyone,
I have a bit of an issue that I could use some help with. We currently have remote users that utilize an SSTP VPN connection to access our internal network. Once connected, those users are required to use an internal proxy server to connect to the Internet. The proxy server is Microsoft's TMG and utilized domain authentication.
On our remote Windows clients we have their Internet Options configured to utilize a proxy as follows:
Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN Settings -> No proxy configured at all
Internet Options -> Connections -> Highlight SSTP Connection -> Settings
Use a proxy server for this connection -> IP/Port of Proxy Server
Firefox and Chrome are both configured to use system proxy settings.
Here is my process to demonstrate the issues:
Remote client workstation is rebooted.
With the above configuration just after a reboot, a remote user that is not connected to the VPN can browse the Internet with Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Firefox. None of the browsers prompt for credentials.
A remote VPN connection is then established.
FF is opened and HTTP connections utilize the proxy server. However, HTTPS connections do not use the proxy server, but instead attempt to use the default gateway. FF does not prompt for credentials. FF is closed.
Chrome is opened and can access both HTTP and HTTPS sites without issue. No credential prompt. Chrome is closed.
IE is opened and can access both HTTP and HTTPS sites without issue. No credential prompt. IE is closed.
Here's where it gets weirder...
FF is then reopened. The VPN connection is still up. FF will prompt for credentials. Domain credentials are supplied and FF can now utilize the proxy for both HTTP and HTTPS connections. FF is closed.
VPN is disconnected.
FF is opened and cannot access the Internet as it is still trying to use the proxy server. FF is closed.
IE is opened and can access the Internet. IE is closed.
Chrome is opened and can access the Internet. Chrome is closed.
FF is reopened and can now access the Internet. FF is closed.
In summary, in the above scenario FF acts in an unexpected manner with regards to proxy usage when "use system proxy settings" is applied. However, Firefox begins acting as expected after IE is opened and closed. For example, connect to VPN, open IE, close IE, open FF, and everything works accordingly. Disconnect the VPN, open IE, close IE, open FF and everything works as expected.
Any insight you can provide would be appreciated as it is affecting our FF users and the sooner we can achieve resolution the better. As a note, we've also worked through this issue with WPAD and proxy auto-detect. I've intentionally removed these from the equation to simplify troubleshooting.
Thanks

Quick update. Added to a previously filed bug. Looks like it's assigned now so maybe we'll see a fix for this soon.

"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,
Jos

Printing From PSE12 - settings not holding/prints are inconsistent.

Printing from PSE12, MacOS with PSE12 controlling color/appling profile.
Color management does not appear to turn off or disengage within any given print driver.
When selecting Color Matching, both ColorSync & given printer are active, both should be ghosted out.
After printing one image/sheet & printing again & selecting Color Matching within the print window both are ghosted out.
Saving a pre-set does not solve the issue.
Currently prints are not matching when having PSE12 controlling color.
what is causing this issue ? Is it PSE12 ? Is it the OS ? WHAT !
Please help. THANKS

This inability to disable color management is within the OS, right ? Or is it PhotoShop Elements ?
Yes I do have means of controlling color management from a driver stand point but the attempt here is to turn color management off from the OS & driver to allow the app to control color management.
Problem is that when printing and setting/selecting settings to allow this, it appears management is getting miss managed.
And if I set a pre-set within PSE, settings do not hold.
I do not want ColorSync to control color management.
I do not want print driver to control color management.
And settings to not hold from print to print and a pre-set does not appear to hold as well.
What is the fix for this ? Do not use PSE ? Do not use MacOS, This does not happen on a WIN based system ?!?

Why are proxy settings not honored

I set up SSH as a proxy server on my laptop when I'm on a public network, and configure Firefox to use the proxy by filling in the Manual Proxy config.
If SSH is not running, I get this error message, as expected: "The proxy server is refusing connections" when I try to access any site EXCEPT Google.
Google searches and access to Google.com always work, even when the proxy server is not up. That seems broken.
When the proxy server IS up, Google searches do not appear to use it.
Google is my default search provider. If I try to access Bing, Firefox acts as expected (no access when proxy is down, debug spew indicating new connections when proxy is up). If I change Bing to be the default search provider, the behavior of both remains the same (Bing uses proxy, Google does not).
Why does access to Google (and only Google?) ignore the proxy settings? Are there other "magic" sites that would also ignore the proxy? I use the proxy because I want to protect my internet traffic when I'm on public networks, but if Firefox can randomly just ignore them for some sites but not others, how can I trust it?

My misconfiguration. I realized that any site that used https was working, while others were not.
Somehow the "Use this proxy server for all protocols" got unchecked. Checking it fixes the issue.

Proxy settings not sticking

All,
I've got a strange issue. I have a policy set up that has a proxy server set under /User Config/Windows Settings/Internet Explorer Maintenance/Connection/Proxy Settings. That works fine. However, I'm trying to add some local web resources into the exceptions field and none of them seem to be taking.
An example of one would be library.mydomain.org, where that domain name is merely an entry in our internal DNS server and not accessible from the outside. However, even with the policy applied, the browser is still trying to use the proxy server and ignoring the exceptions I set. I can't confirm whether those exception are in the control panel since the users associated with the policy are very locked down.
However, I have a seperate policy for other users in which the exceptions work perfectly fine. Could the policy be corrupt?
Also, and this is a throw in question, how do you all create your policies? I find using console 1 to be an extremely irritating and slow process. It takes up to a minute from when I close the group policy window until I get control of console 1 back. Are there any other methods for policy editing?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry to quote my own post, but could a PAC file be my answer?

Print settings not holding...

I have a setup where I'm using Reader to open PDF docs that are very large (24" by 36" docs). In previous versions of Acrobat, if I set the print setting to print 'Current View' and 'Fit to Page' these settings would hold between PDF files. So when users Zoomed to a specific portion of the PDF and printed it, they only got the part they were zoomed into - which is what we wanted. The users didn't have to do anything but hit print and click Ok - no settings changed required. Now we've gone to Acrobat X Reader and this 'Current View' setting will not stay put. Is there any way to make this stay? Config file, reg edit, or something?
I am considering the idea of setting up a web page with links to these docs so the users can browse for the file they need and have it open within the Acrobat Reader Plug-In in IE. So I would like to get these settings applied that way as well.
The only other option I can think of is using the Acrobat SDK and really customizing the web pages that way, but I'm not sure if that will give me the level of control needed to do this through the code side either.
Any solutions or other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Keep in mind print settings are stored in the PSD document, so you may be thinking it's not remembering your print settings, when in fact it's rememebering them a different way... In other words, if you print document 1 to printer A then save as a PSD, then print document 2 to printer B then save as PSD, then re-open document 1, the default printer for document 1 will still be A.
Another known problem with some printer drivers is that you have to set the parameters twice in order to get them to stick. This could affect, for example, then number of copies to print. A workaround is to make your changes, then go through the [Print Settings...] button twice (first time to make changes, second time to check the changes).
Hope this helps!

Web proxy settings not getting affected for Mozilla Firefox

I have an ISA Server setup as a web proxy in our domain environment . I have changed the proxy settings to the address of the new web proxy server for all the users in the domain by using group policy . Even the connection tab on the internet options have been disabled so that users wont be able to view the settings thereby preventing them from changing the proxy settings . It has been completed successfully . But when we tested the settings with various browsers by trying to access the blocked sites in our environment such as Facebook and other social networking sites , IE , Safari and Chrome seems to be detecting the proxy in the network and was blocking it but Mozilla Firefox and Opera does not seem to be affected by the change and users could have unrestricted access to the web . Please help me with how to configure mozilla firefox proxy settings using group policy edit .

I am facing a similar issue with the flash content on my website (appnina.com). Any flash content is not displayed on my website.
The problem is because of using flash plugin in Mozilla Firefox (21.0 - updated). The flash plugin does not get activated by default. That is whenever opening the site, the flash content is not displayed. It asks to click the activate button. This activation should be one time, however it always asks to do so whenever opening the site.
I just checked and found that this flash problem is not specific to my website but in general (youtube as well).
Let me put the screen shot of the same.
Any permanent solution to this. Let me check if I can delete the old plguin and download it again to solve this issue.
The problem seems to be because of compatibility problem of firefox with flash.
PS: Let me know if I need to start a new discussion thread on this ?

[Solved]Gnome 3 global proxy settings not working

Hi
My laptop runs Arch and I use it at a hostel and University. Both have different proxy settings and I had configured it by using a script (if one can call it that) in {/etc/profile.d/} that exported the correct settings. I had to edit (comment/uncomment) my setting every time I mover my laptop.
I need the setting globally for Chromium to pick it up. Chromium until recently had a problem when accessing the Gnome 3 network (proxy) settings. A new update seem to have fixed this but the problem of picking up the setting remains.
I started up a terminal to see how that global proxy setting in Gnome 3 were shown and found that only the following were set
https_proxy
all_proxy
ftp_proxy
The main one that I need {http_proxy} was not set, even thought I defined it. I think this is an issue with Gnome 3 and was not sure where I should report it. Any solutions will be much appreciated.

I've had issues lately with Gnome 3 and proxy settings. For example, as of today (or sometime this weekend) Firefox is not obeying the system proxy settings (System Settings -> Network -> Proxy). Even better was that today I found that the system proxy settings had "magically" reset to proxy.company.com:8080 (or whatever their default setting is). If I manually set Firefox's proxy settings, it connects just fine. All terminal applications that I use only obey the http_proxy environment variable. Other programs, such as Evolution, seem to not obey the Gnome system proxy settings but only the ones set in GConf (not DConf) (which were also "magically" reset today).

Managed proxy settings not being applied

I am currently having an issue with a certain managed preferences set in Workgroup manager.
Essentially, all machine preferences are applied by the clients (energy saver and such), except for network proxy settings and bypass domains.
Preferences are set on machine groups which my clients are members of, but the same happens if I set the same managed preferences on user accounts, also.
In each test I have done, an 'mcxquery' shows that the client has received the preferences, along with all the other settings I've applied and each time all of the preferences have applied except for the network proxy! Both the clients and the server have been re-installed from scratch, but the problem still persists.
Has anyone ever encountered anything similar? Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might get this working again?

Hi all,
I'm having exactly the same issue : most of the managed preferences being applied except proxy
I've checked with mcxquery : proxy settings are broadcasted, and I find the correct settings in the file /Library/Managed Preferences for the user, but when I check in Preferences/Network/Proxy, nothing appears ...
Any idea ?
Thanks,
PhC.

Proxy settings not remembered

Im on firefox 3.6 and my problems is that i click on no proxy but everytime the computer restarts it resets to som these proxy settings.
http 127.0.0.1 port 50370
Now i've also tried the delete user.js file but this folder always reapears when i start up the computer again, possibly causing the proxy settings to change.
this all started after a virus/adware. Now ive run malwarebytes and adaware plus Mcafee and they removed the virus as it no longer is causing any problems apart from this. Im also on windows 7.

I've opened the user.js file with wordpad and here is its contenets if it helps solve this
user_pref("network.cookie.cookieBehavior", 0);
user_pref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.cookies", false);
user_pref("security.warn_viewing_mixed", false);
user_pref("security.warn_viewing_mixed.show_once", false);
user_pref("security.warn_submit_insecure", false);
user_pref("security.warn_submit_insecure.show_once", false);

User Connection Settings Not Holding

When I send a connection key to a user of Contribute 4, the
user is getting the following error when trying to implement the
connection key:
Your connection to this site has been disabled. The
administrative settings for this site are missing or have been
reset.
Typically, but not always, when I go back to "Administer" the
site, my admin role has in fact been dumped, but not sure why .
I am using CPS along with Contribute 4.
Any help is appreciated

I've also been having a weird issue. I've just bought this new 27" and the default iMac profile is causing color discrepancies between images on the web - basically the html background and jpg would not match. I tried everything - and finally narrowed it down to Display Profiles. When I randomly click through them and land on lets say Apple RGB, the problem disappears. no more color mismatch. But the iMac profile seems to be corrupt or badly made. I've settled on Generic RGB for now and it seems to hold.

Acrobat Color Management settings not holding

I am having issues with acrobat 8 & 9 holding the color management preferences on the intel macs we have. I have placed the .csf file in user/library/application support/adobe/color/settings. The .icc profile is in user/library/color sync/profiles. We are using OS 10.5.8 & 10.6.4 both versions are behaving the same. I have used bridge to sync the Adobe suite (AI,Photoshop and Indesign) and that works fine. Acrobat was not installed as part of the suite.

Figured out the issue. The .csf file was corrupt, remade the file and the settings held in prefernces.

Proxy settings not staying configured

Using FF 3.6.9 and I use a proxy server to access the internet so I manually set the settings for the proxy and I can surf the web.
But if I close the browser, and reopen it again, it returns to no proxy set.
I do not currently use a proxy setting add-on.
