Title:
add ntlm (MS) proxy support (wishlist)
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
Opinion
Bug description:
Binary package hint: apt
I'm using Ubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.04 in my computer at work. The computer is
behind a internet firewall (http://9.9.9.9:3128).
The problems was:
I have to log into the proxy server using a DOMAIN + username + server
+ port
Ive tried to configure in this ways:
- Menu : system > preferences > proxy
- Synaptic: preferences > proxy server > proxy http [9.9.9.9 + 3128] +
authentication [ DOMAIN\username + password]
- Exporting the string http+proxy to the environment
Nothing was working. In all cases, was returning: 407 Proxy
Authentication Required
But in last search, i found the package
http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/web/ntlmaps
This is a local proxy that listen in a local port (in my case: 1080)
that connects to proxy 9.9.9.9:3128 using NT authentication (DOMAIN +
USER + PASSWORD)
But after installing the package using the link above, i need to
follow these steps:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
1 - Change the file /etc/ntlmaps/server.cfg using the following
parameters:
LISTEN_PORT: 1080
PARENT_PROXY: 9.9.9.9
PARENT_PROXY_PORT: 3128
NT_DOMAIN: DOMAIN
USER: myuser
PASSWORD: mypasswsord
#Note: NT_HOSTNAME is empty!
2 - Change the file /usr/share/ntlmaps/main.py. The last parameter of
the calling of function findConfigFileNameInArgv was changed:
conf =
config_ntlmaps.read_config(config_ntlmaps.findConfigFileNameInArgv(sys.argv,
'/etc/ntlmaps/'))
#note the fixed string '/etc/ntlmaps/'
3 - Execute the following command in a terminal:
export http_proxy=127.0.0.1:1080
4 - Execute another command to restart the ntlmaps server:
/etc/init.d/ntlmaps stop
/etc/init.d/ntlmaps restart
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Finally i could use my apt-get via terminal.
Best regards!
