Cannot authenticate on proxy

Postby PMCurieIT » Fri Sep 23, 2016 12:51 pm

Hello,

I've installed algodoo in the high-school I work in, and the internal browser can't connect on internet.
We have a proxy set for all the computer with user authentication, and it seems that the browser cannot use the system settings, and I haven't found a way to set the proxy settings inside the application.
Access to the webpages is ok with firefox (http://www.algodoo.com/algobox) but inside algodoo, I get the cache authentication error.


Any idea on how to solve my problem? There's a teacher here that needs it much.

Thanks

Edit: algodoo v2.1.0 running on windows in a shared folder.

Well, you have few workarounds:
1) Allow unautharized access to algodoo.com on proxy
2) Set up SSL VPN to some internet gateway service (cost money)
3) Set up local proxy with cascade connection to school proxy
4) If proxy is MS TMG or Wingate it's possible to install special utility on local PC (FWC or WRS) to disable proxy and use it as internet gate.
5) Connect Android phone via USB to PC and setup modem connection via 3G/4G to internet
etc.

This has been done unsuccessfully. No problem to access the page through a regular browser (Firefox, for instance), but the message I get in the algodoo browser is the same I have if I do not set the proxy in FF.

So it seems that the problem might be that algodoo can't retrieve the system's proxy settings, and I found no way to specify it in-app neither.

Are you sure proxy don't ask for auth? Opne FF network debug and look into it. It there proxy-auth http headers?

Well, there is an auth.
Code: Select all
407 Proxy Authentication Required
Proxy-Authenticate : "NTLMBasic realm="<my-realm>""

So there is no user/passwd prompt in FF.

"407 Proxy Authentication Required" - means you didn't allow unautharized access to algodoo.com on proxy ;)

Ok, my bad: there was another proxy option I had not seen. It works now, thanks.
