Title: Proxy question
Post by: dilligaf on May 01, 2007, 04:47:44 PM

We access a web application hosted at another company.

We run into all sorts of troubles with this application (that they so "no one else has happen...")

-We have tried different PC's (different versions of JAVA, Browsers etc)
-changed ISP's
-tried in IE setting it to not use proxy server (SME Server)
Same all the time.

The vendor insists we need IE (not mozilla or any others)
They also seem to keep pointing it back to our proxy server.

Is it correct that if we do not tell IE to use proxy that this is bypassed?
(looking for a simple way without reconfiguring network to ensure for their benefit that we are not using the proxy)

No.
Just disable the proxy under proxy settings. The settings are forced so it doesn't matter if you enable or disable the proxy on your workstations you have to disable it from your server.

Thanks,
I did the following:
/sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop squid Transparent no
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event remoteaccess-update
/etc/rc.d/init.d/squid stop

Then on each client PC in IE/Tools/Connections/Lan Settings removedd the proxy.
Will test and see what the results are.
Thank you.
