At my office I was given a pac file in order to connect to our proxy. The pac file is just a bunch of ignore-this-internal-site-and-that-local-site along with a proxy for other connections, let's call it proxyname.office.uni.ac.za:3125 (there is no http:// or something simmilar in the link).
My problem is that the proxy requires a username and password. When set system wide through either the configuration url (using the pac file) or plainly with the raw proxy,
some programs play nice (like Chrome and Firefox) and dislays a username/password dialog as soon as they open. Other programs such as apt-get and most basically everything just can't connect. Dropbox at least gives username and password fields in its proxy settings,
but still can't function correcly when trying to use the system-wide settings.
I have tried the following without results:
- setting the system-proxy as
username:[email protected]:3125 - setting the system-proxy as
http://username:[email protected]:3125,https://username:[email protected]:3125,ftp://username:[email protected]:3125. - setting the proxy in the pac file as
username:[email protected]:3125whereverproxyname.office.uni.ac.za:3125is found (and using this pac file system wide). - setting the proxyin the pac file as
http://username:[email protected]:3125whereverproxyname.office.uni.ac.za:3125is found (and using this pac file system wide).
Is there any way to set this proxy system wide with a preset username/password? Or is there any program that can maybe setup a new proxy (let's say localhost:1234) proxying the other username/password proxy with it's username/password preset. Or is there something else I can try or have missed?
