Dragon Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I would like to hear from people who have apps working seamlessly through their proxy with authentication. At the moment I am finding that most apps do not pass authentication details and therefore fail. If you have it working, what are you using for your proxy?
localzuk Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 We don't use proxy authentication with our devices - we use wifi authentication instead. So, people have to log in to a captive portal, and then they get online. The login is logged, with the IP and then in our proxy server the web activity is logged against IP. Not perfect, but it works. This is with a Ruckus wireless system and a simple Squid proxy.
Dragon Posted February 10, 2014 Author Posted February 10, 2014 Can't believe me and Localzuk are the only 2 that have come across this issue!
tmcd35 Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Currently we use a transparent proxy with our smoothwall set as the networks default gateway. Devices connecting this way are put on our most restrictive filtering settings. May change this when we start looking at 1:1 devices, BYOD and managed WiFi.
free780 Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Oh yea this is a issue. You have to have a decent wireless system and proxy.
GeekyPete Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Do your devices have static IPs or is the web activity only really tracable until the end of the DHCP Lease? How long have you set your lease for?
