Transparent proxy server

Hello everybody!
My client want me to create a transparent proxy server which logs words retrieved from the data stream and records word frequencies.
Can anyone explain me what is a transparent proxy server and what my client exactly wants from the application?
Thanking you in advance for your valuable discussions.

Can anyone explain me what is a transparent proxy server and what my client exactly wants from the application?You know what a proxy server is right? I guess in your context a transparent one is one that does nothing apart from the logging you require. It is probably a better idea to ask your client exactly what they want from the application!
Apache JMeter is open source and contains a proxy server that just logs - you could download the source and see how it works.

Error during connection to https web-service via proxy-server

Hello!
I have created Web Service Proxy using wizard in JDeveloper. Then added some code for authorization on my corporate proxy server.
Then I was trying to connect to two different web services
- first one was HTTP web-service - successful
- second one was HTTPS web-service - failed with error :

What could be the problem with?

Hi Kenneth,
At the moment, SALT does not support the configuring of an outbound proxy server. I suspect you could use a transparent proxy server, i.e., a proxy server/router combination that proxies outgoing requests, although this isn't something we have tested. My suggestion would be to open a support case and ask for this enhancement. I think it is a reasonable thing for SALT to support.

Can not add Exceptions to Transparent proxy

Hello all,
I am sure this is simple but I can not figure out what has changed to cause this. Currently, I can not add items to the exception list in HTTP Transparent Proxy.
I only see refresh and close buttons on the screen - no Apply changes.
I have 2 BM servers and one I have access to without issues but the other does not work.
It definitely worked at some point in time because it has 25 entries but has since stopped.
What am I missing?
Thanks,
Steve D.

Sync Java Proxy Server response in XML

Hi !
We've this scenario: File1 <-> XI <-> Java Proxy <-> File2
Using a BPM, we made a Async/Sync workflow. It works ok. It uses a SYNC Java Proxy Server.
The problem is that inside the java proxy, we query an http source that returns already XML formated data. We need this data to be mapped from the java proxy response message type to the File2 message type.
We know that we can parse the XML data inside the java proxy and fill the response message type structures (creating items, and array items for nested records), or directly code the mapping here.
But, is there any alternative to pass the received XML from the HTTP directly to XI, and map that XML structure with the File2 message type using graphical mapping ? instead of programming the xml parsing and creating the response structure?
If we create a message type for the response of the java proxy, as 1 field that contains the whole XML code, then we would not map it....Is there any way to complete or to add something to the received XML code, to convert it to the XI message format..so XI could interpret it as a true XI message and map it transparently via graphical mapping?
Thanks,
Matias

Hi Akshay !
That's exactly what I don't know how to do it.
Inside the java proxy function I have a string variable, let's call it xmlResponse, that contains:
<customer>
<name>Matias</name>
<country>China</country>
</customer>
I also have a message type created in XI (let's call it MT_Response), that has the same fields as the above message structure. And my java proxy function is declared something like this:
public MT_Response.Type myFunction(MT_Request.Type myRequest) {
String xmlResponse="";
// http connection code goes here..
xmlResponse = httpConnection.getResponse();
return ??????? what ????
I don't want to parse the xmlResponse variable in order to fill the MT_Response structure. I need a more direct way, because the content of xmlResponse is already XML !
Thanks.

How to configure Transparent proxy on solaris 10, x86

Dear All,
I am trying to configure a transparent proxy on solaris 10, x86 system.
Can any body tell me the direction that i have to follow. I want to configure it through Sun java web proxy server 4.
Thanks and waiting for your kind reply.

The thread was from quite some time. You mentioned that transparent proxy functionaliity was scheduled to be a part of one of the service packs. Have this happened yet? I cannot see it in the documentation nor i the admin GUI, but I might be looking in the wrong place.
I'm running version: 4.0.5 B04/18/2007 11:01
Kind regards

ISE with Proxy Server (internet explorer)

Hi guys.
I´m implementing a Cisco ISE in customer now and I have the follow state:
AUTHENTICATION
mab > wired_mab OR wireless_mab > default network protocos > internal endpoints
employee > wired_802.1x OR wireless_802.1x > Radius Server Sequence
Guest > Default network protocols > internal users.
AUTHORIZATION
Guest IF ActivatedGuest Then PermitAccess (vlan L2)
employee_wired_wifi IF Workstation AND (Wireless_802.1X AND Wired_802.1X AND Session:PostureStatus EQUALS Compliant )
then PERMIT_ALL_TRAFFIC
employee_pre_compliant IF Workstation AND (Wireless_802.1X AND Wired_802.1X AND Session:PostureStatus NOT_EQUALS Compliant )
And others configurations to Smartphones (android and apple) for example.
I configured the CLIENT PROVISIONING like this:
employee_win IF any AND windows all AND conditions any Then WebAgent 4.9.0.24
SO, this configuration permit the scenario bellow:
IF employee have NacAgent software installed - the communication happens and posture initiate.
IF employee don´t have the NacAgent, Open Internet Browser and redirect page start to WebAgent provisioning.
This work. BUT to redirect the user to provisioning URL, I have to disable de proxy configurations in (Settings>Internet Options>Connections>Lan Settings).
There are some kind of configuration that permit the Redirec Provisioning URL with internet proxy configured???
PS: Also, do not work with I configured the ISE Ip adress in "proxy exceptions".
Best Regards

HI,
Does the blue coat support anything such as transparent proxy? Ironport does this in a way that when it is integrated with Active Directory it can find the user to ip mapping and set the condition on the fly without redirecting users for authentication.

Cache engine http transparent proxy and caching

Hi..
My customer some GPRS user in which they couldn't control proxy setting of the web browser.
Is it possible to configure on a cache engine such that when these users access the Internet, they will be intercepted by the cache engine. THe cache engine then forwards the request to a proxy server and out to the Internet ?
Rgds
Eng Wee

It is possible to configure the cache engine to provide access to the users. The following URL shows an example on how to configure the Cisco Cache Engine for transparent caching using the Web Cache Coordination Protocol (WCCP).
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/117/cache_engine/transparentconfig.html
This scenario is pretty similar to your requirement. Hope this helps.

Proxy server refused connections

Everytime I try to open Firefox and go online, I get the msg "proxy server refused connection". I tried going to options and choosing auto detect proxy and no proxy. They both allow me to go online but when I close Firefox, the settings I did aren't saved and I need to go to options again and change the settings. It's a hassle to go through this all the time. Help pls.

You can try to create a [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles?s=profile&r=0&e=sph&as=s new profile] and see if the problem goes away. i.e. in Windows Start menu > '''Run''' (or press Windows key + '''R'''), type and enter '''firefox -p -no-remote''' > '''Create Profile''', after finishing select the newly created profile, '''Start Firefox''', edit and save the proxy settings and restart in the newly created profile. If the profile is okay, you can later [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Recovering%20important%20data%20from%20an%20old%20profile?s=profile&r=1&e=sph&as=s copy] needed data like bookmarks, passwords etc. from the previous profile to the new profile and delete the previous profile.
If the problem persists, it could be a security software that is trying to transparently proxy Firefox and may also be reverting the Firefox proxy changes. You may have to go into the security software settings and exempt Firefox/[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder or Files].

Transparent proxy & IP/IP gateway

I am trying to configure our BM3.7 system to us transparent proxy in
conjunction with IP/IP gateway.
I want to be able to take advantage of the caching features of the
proxy and
the access control of the gateway.
According to the install manual I must have the client configured with
the
IP gateway client software. However, it does not work correctly for
some
reason. The current proxy gateway status shows "No HTTP proxy server
found"
At one point I DID get a proxy server connection and things worked
great,
but for some reason I list it again after only a few minutes. ( I may
have
inadvertently changed a setting that screwed it up) Now, I can not
get ti
to work. Can any one give some suggestions?

OK, I think I have it.
I don't need the gateway. (Although the install PDF says I do)
From other article I see that the IP/IP gateway is no longer required
for
access control ( as the PDF states)

Building a custom Flex web services proxy server

Hi All,
I'm investigating the possibility of writing a custom proxy
server for our web services, using ASP.NET. LiveCycle Data Services
looks very cool and would do the proxying we need, but it's not in
our budget this year, and I would still like to take advantage of
proxying. I figured I could probably build something simple, and
perhaps we may be able to move to LCDS at some point in the future.
I did some searching and didn't find anything to help me get
started. My next step would be to fire up Wireshark and start
looking at traffic going back and forth to try and figure out what
Flex expects from a web services proxy -- but I thought maybe some
folks here would be able to point me to some documentation or other
resources on writing a proxy?

a common, somewhat sophisitcated messaging framework that controls
access to a range of services... one of which is the proxy service.
This proxy service does ultimately act like an HTTP proxy on your
client's behalf, but how it is contacted is complex because the
messaging format is not designed just to do this one task.
I apologize for oversimplying; I realize LCDS does much more
than proxying, but that's all I'm worried about at the moment, so
that's why I keep mentioning it in the same breath as "proxy".

post - just use the URL to point to a "distinguished" service that
your proxy knows how to translate.
It might be simpler, but my goal is to abstract away from the
Flex app the fact that a proxy is even being used. I was under the
impression that a proxy service would allow me to do this; however
as I review the documentation I'm not entirely sure this is the
case. It looks like I have to define explicit endpoints even if I
am using a proxy?
What I had envisioned was that by setting up a proxy, all web
service requests would be sent to the host I had specified as the
proxy, regardless of what I had put for the web service WSDL and/or
endpoint.
So here's my hypothetical situation (I'm making all this up
-- it's what I'd like to do, not how things actually work):
{services-config.xml}
<service id="proxy-service"
class="flex.messaging.services.HTTPProxyService"
messageTypes="flex.messaging.messages.HTTPMessage,flex.messaging.messages.SOAPMessage">
<properties>
<external-proxy>
<server>intranetProxy</server>
<port>80</port>
</external-proxy>
</properties>
</service>
Then I could define a bunch of web services in MXML:
<mx:WebService wsdl="
http://webservicesHost/myService.asmx?WSDL"/>
<mx:WebService wsdl="
http://webservicesHost/anotherService.asmx?WSDL"/>
<mx:WebService wsdl="
http://webservicesHost/handyService.asmx?WSDL"/>
Now, when it attempts to load the WSDL, it will relay the
request through intranetProxy. When I actually call a web method,
it relays the request through intranetProxy. No further needs to be
done, and I don't need to touch the WSDL URLs or the WSDL
documents.
If I go with the method of using the WSDL URL to contact my
ASP.NET proxy directly, there are a few drawbacks:
-The proxy service is no longer abstracted away from the
MXML/ActionScript code. If I ever need to move the proxy, I need to
touch the code everywhere I use a web service.
-I have to rewrite the web service endpoints (defined in the
WSDL) on the fly.
Neither of these are showstoppers. In fact, I'm already using
this method -- but a proxy that is totally transparent to the Flex
app seems like a better design goal. Is this possible, though? If I
have to manually define every Web Service WSDL and/or endpoint that
I want to proxy, then I'm no better off than using the WSDL URL to
directly contact my ASP.NET proxy, and rewriting the endpoint
defined in the WSDL as it passes through the proxy.

Onenote syncing through a transparent proxy..or not!?

I'm having some people asking to use Onenote on Android - these devices sync through a transparent proxy as I can't enter a port number for the Onenote Sync - but because the application doesn't seem to support SNI (Server Name Indication) I get
an error message. The only way I can see to configure this on my firewall is to allow no HTTPS inspection on the IPs to which Onenote syncs. The problem with that is that there is a range...?
Is there a domain that I can put in, or a specific range of IPs I can enter!? I've tried all the usuals...live.com, live.net etc. I've also done a reverse lookup on one of the IPs I know it syncs to, but it doesn't resolve!
Any bright ideas?
Everytime you buy an Apple product, god kills a kitten.

I am not clear that the certain network ports that are required for Office OneNote, but we can still refer this article which lists the firewall ports when we connect to Office 365.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/educloud/archive/2011/11/30/what-firewall-ports-do-i-need-open-to-connect-to-office-365-for-education.aspx
Or, we may consider to use network monitor tool to find them.

Site not working through Transparent Proxy

I have a site that will not load through transparent proxy at one of my buildings.
I have 2 buildings with same BM setup (3.9SP2 on NW6.5 SP7). At one location, I can not resolve a web site when running through transparent proxy.
At the other location, it works just fine.
Also, if I set the proxy to either BM server, the site loads without incident.
As another note, both locations use the same internal DNS server which is located in the building where transparent proxy works for this site.
What am I missing?
Any ideas as to what to try next is greatly appreciated.

Then the pc failing has problem to resolve the entry. When you force the
browser, pc does not resolve anything, just send the url to bm and bm
resolve it. With TP, it is the PC who makes it. It could be that this pc
has already cached this site. But then you should see the reqesut goign
to the bm server. Without seeing the traces ( i do not understand your
there is no DNS entry even
showing that it is trying to resolve the domain name,) i can not comment
in more detail other that you've got a PC or network problem or dns
problem with this particular site, but not a bm.
if trace shows dns query from the pc and no answer, but is really
strange, do the same step but this time take a lan trace on the dns
server to confirm that request is received and what it does with it.

ASA DMZ zone and Unix proxy server

Hi.
i have router which all nat translation done at here. i have a asa and core sw.
192.168.1930.0/24 subnet my user and some server are located at this subnet. this subnet created at core sw.
int vlan 393
ip address 192.168.193.1 255.255.255.0
core sw connected to asa inside interface.asa inside interface ip 172.30.30.1 and at core sw site this port access vlan 8 which is
int vlan 8
ip address 172.30.30.2
at core sw at i have a default route to asa.
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.30.30.1
and asa site
route inside 192.168.193.0 255.255.255.0 172.30.30.2
all of them are ok.
i think that is ok.
at asa i have dmz zone which ip address:
interface Ethernet0/1
description connect to CoreSW
nameif inside
security-level 100
ip address 172.30.30.1 255.255.255.0 standby 172.30.30.3
interface Ethernet0/2
description DMZ zone connect mail server
nameif DMZ
security-level 50
ip address 172.16.10.1 255.255.255.0 standby 172.16.10.2
my proxy server inside interface connected to asa dmz zone and ip address 172.16.10.254 and outside interface is connected asa outside site which mean that is same subnet of asa outside interface which is 10.0.0.254 and then 10.0.0.254 i do static nat at router. i have no problem at nat translation.
i want my 192.168.193.0 subnet pass througth from proxy when this subnet want to connet internet.
i wrote
static (inside,DMZ) 192.168.193.0 192.168.193.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
and access-list
access-list from_dmz_to_in extended permit ip host 172.16.10.254 any
access-group from_dmz_to_in in interface DMZ
at this time what is up?
the user can not access internet and what i do? i wrote proxy server inside ip and default port 3128 at user internet explorer properties.
internet explorerr--tools-properties-connection-lan settting and show there 172.16.10.254 and port 3128.
at this time my user connect internet when i wrote this. when i remove this they can not connect internet
but i do not want write anything at my user. how i solved this?
after that one problem occur.
when my server to do nslookup it can not work.
i thnik that it is true because we have only one port 3128 is open and my server need udp 53.so it can not work
how i solve this issue?
as you see my access-list all of is open and i do
static (inside,DMZ) 192.168.193.0 192.168.193.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
it is this wrong proxy connection???
musti change proxy server inside interface to other device or asa other interface?
thanks.

There is 2 way the proxy server can work, ie: either transparent or explicit proxy.
From your explaination, explicit proxy works just fine when you configure the proxy settings on your browser.
The reason why transparent proxy does not work is because:
1) When user browser connects to the Internet, the ASA default gateway is via the outside interface, that is why the Internet traffic is not being routed transparently towards your proxy server which is connected to the DMZ interface.
The static NAT statement configured on the ASA does not perform redirection. If you would like to transparently route the internet traffic towards the proxy server on DMZ, you would need to route the traffic towards the proxy server. With the current topology that you have, it is not achievable on the ASA. ASA does not support Policy Based Routing, nor it supports WCCP when the user and the proxy server is on different interfaces.
2) Also need to find out if the proxy server itself supports transparent proxy.
Otherwise, since explicit proxy works, why don't you just push the proxy settings to the browser via Active Directory Group Policy?

Mac Mini as forward proxy server

I realize there are other questions out there regarding this issue, but I hadn't noticed anyone else looking to solve the same problem as I am, thus the new question. Apologies if it is viewed as redundant.
I'd like to set up my 2011 Mac Mini Server (running Mountain Lion) as a forward proxy. Most items I see on the web regarding this seem to want to use the forward proxy to filter websites and ports, I want to do just the opposite. I want to use the proxy server to bypass a restrictive firewall (of which I do not have control) using a high speed unfettered wireless connection. (So, internal NIC = Ethernet, external NIC = WiFi). I'm assuming that Apache can do this, I have limited (read - 0) experience with proxy setup and configuration - but given the right web links with a little context, I'll be OK. Can anyone point me in the right direction? At stake are connections to iCloud, TeamViewer, Google Drive, Windows Azure, submissions to the Apple App Store and Windows Live Marketplace, etc - so many of these connections do not occur on port 80 by default - which is why I need to open up more than just an HTTP proxy. Perhaps a transparent proxy would be a better choice? Thoughts?

From what I understand from your post, this may be easier for you to accomplish using either a VPN tunnel or an SSH tunnel. VPN can be configured using the Server application and is quite easy, SSH can be configured using "Remote Management" (I think) and then you'd just have to set up your client. VPN would tunnel all traffic and SSH would tunnel specific ports.

Successfully Installing & Activating CS6 (not Creative Cloud) behind an Authentication Proxy server

If you are like me and work in a fairly secure office where all Internet access is routed through an authenticate proxy server (you have to use an ID and password to get to the Internet) you might have noticed that installing CS6 products can be difficult.
The installer told me to go to http://www.adobe.com/go/getactivated for an offline activation.
It is not practical to "Disable the firewall" or"Disable the proxy" as most of us worker bees have neither the authority or ability to do such a thing.
So back to that last bit: "Disable the proxy server." Well I could not do that, but I could disable my PC's ability to connect to the proxy and therefore make it seem like I had no Internet whatsoever. And lo and behold all the right prompts appeared and offline activation sailed along smoothly!
This is a little long, but I wanted to include lots of screen shots so you'll know what to expect.
Here's how I did it:
1. Right-click the Internet Explorer Icon on your desktop (or select Tools > Internet Options in IE)
2. Click Properties.
3. Select the Connections card.
4. Click LAN Settings.
5. Uncheck any boxes (you might want to write down what was in the boxes or grab a screen shot as you'll have to put this back to how you found it later to restore your Internet access). Click OK and OK again. You've now shut off IE's ability to hit your proxy server and therefore the Internet.
6. Click Install I have a serial number
7. Accept the license agreement.
8. Enter your license key.
9. Click Next. At this point the installer will attempt to validate your license, but since you haven't got Internet access, it will give you an error. This is where the process broke down on me, when the installer could detect the Internet but not navigate my proxy.
10. But, now beacuse you do not have Internet Access, you'll get this error. Click Connect Later.
11. Select your customizations (if any) and click Install.
12. When installation is complete, click Launch Now.
13. You'll get an error since you don't have Internet, click "Having Trouble Connecting to the internet?"
14. Click Offline Activation.
15. Click Generate Request Code.
16. Go to http://www.adobe.com/go/getactivated, sign in, put in your request code and serial number and generate the response code.*
17. Enter the response code.
18. Click Activate.
19. Click Launch when you get the Offline Activation Complete dialog.
* if you are installing more than one product, generate the response codes for each at the same time. I ran into an issue where once I created a response code, no other response codes I created for subsequent installs were accepted. I had to wait 24 hours for a newly generated code to work.
You are done! Enjoy your software!
Cheers!
-Greg

Just want to point out--after many hours of attempting to activate CS6 software (stumping two Adobe techs in the process)--that there is one important bit of information left out of the directions given above (and it's not in the video either):
These instructions work only if you are starting the installation from scratch. If you (mistakenly) think that your inability to connect to Adobe's activation server is temporary and go ahead and install the software, you will not be able to get back to the screen to generate a request code (which you need to be able to activate the application). This is in spite of Adobe's assurance to the contrary that if you don't activate during installation, you can do it later when the application starts. If you try to activate later, you are taken to an online screen that asks for the "request code"--but you have not been given an opportunity to get that request code.
The only solution I could find: I had to uninstall Photoshop CS6, then unplug my internet connection, then reinstall the software, watching carefully for the screen that provides the button to generate a request code. If Adobe is going to require the activation/validation procedure, then it really needs to make it work and correct the error in the software, namely, the failure to provide for offline activation once the software has been installed.
