| bash321 | does any one use a authenticated proxy at home, work, university or tafe institution? | 06:24 |
|---|---|---|
| bash321 | on ubuntu desktop? | 06:24 |
| bash321 | to connect to the internet? | 06:25 |
| blahdeblah | bash321: yep | 06:38 |
| bash321 | blahdeblah: is that at home or work? do you configure that via a gui or cli? | 06:42 |
| blahdeblah | bash321: Work; you can do it in a couple of ways. In the GUI there's a network proxy control panel which allows you to enter it. | 06:43 |
| blahdeblah | At the command line you can just export http_proxy=http://user:pass@proxy:8080/ or similar | 06:43 |
| blahdeblah | ditto for https_proxy & ftp_proxy | 06:43 |
| bash321 | blahdeblah: if i configured it via a gui method would the authentication apply as you have written it in the url for the command above... using network manager? | 06:45 |
| bash321 | simply i cannot find via a gui method to get authenticated proxy to work. | 06:45 |
| bash321 | there is an option is a tool called dconf editor. | 07:07 |
| bash321 | i will test it out and see if it works.. | 07:08 |
| bash321 | ok... now this makes sense... to configure authenticated proxies via gui settings on ubuntu. you have to install a tool called dconf-editor. the problem is with this program it gives a way your proxy server password.. defeating the whole purpose of authenticated proxy. | 07:17 |
