hi guys, I have to use http proxy to visit the web in my private network, it works fine in microb because the brower will pop up and ask for user and pass automatically. But when I try to install application, the app manager doesn't know the usr and pass so it can not refresh the catagory nor download the package(407 proxy auth needed), so where can I specify these for application manager?

Thany you for your attention.

Ah, authenticated proxies. The bane of my life for a few years.

Since there's no option in Connection Manager, I'd suggest:

1. Voting for bug #387
2. Using apt-get from the terminal:
   1. Find a way of becoming root, possibly easiest by downloading and running rootsh_1.4_armel.deb
   2. Open X Terminal
   3. Get a root shell: sudo gainroot
   4. Set your authenticated proxy: export http_proxy=http://username:password@proxyhost:proxyport
   5. Update the application catalogue: apt-get update
   6. Install a package: apt-get install mediabox

HTH.

Thank you Jaffa...this is real pain... I also found RSS reader doesnt support authenticated proxies...

Proxies are awkward to use in some applications, usually I use VPN (L2TP over IPSec) in windows and linux, but I cannot find any L2TP deamon on N810 right now...

You might also be able to hack a local unauthenticated micro proxy that would pass things on with authentication to the next level. It might even be doable with socat out of the box.
