Public bug reported: Both in Ubuntu 10.04 and Ubuntu 10.10, I cannot use a network proxy with username and password, which is Microsoft Forefront TMG 2010, because I receive an error: "Proxy Authentication Required ( Forefront TMG requires authorization to fulfill the request. Access to the Web Proxy filter is denied. )".
There are 2 ways I found to use this proxy: - Firefox supports this proxy directly - For all other communication, including Synaptic, I have to use cntlm package to set ntlmv2 for TMG and then use 127.0.0.1:3128 as a proxy, with cached username and password. It's not easy to set nor flexible, because password changes. Advices with Acquire::http::Proxy http://username:[email protected]:port/ like in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1589510, or export http_proxy=http://username:[email protected]:8080/ like in http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8417883, didn't work for me. I'm sorry if there's already a bug open.
