Dummies guide to setting up Wpad with Ruckus Zonedirector 1100

[Guest]

Hi

 

Please can some one help me out and tell me bit by bit how to setup a wpad file with proxy settings for our wireless clients.

 

Basically i have a Zone director 1100 and in my WLans list ive enabled Auto Proxy setting within the Advanced options. i want to be able to set the wpad file to be stored on my server using IIS. but I've hardly next to nothing experience writing a simple wpad file to tell our wireless clients what proxy address to use or setting this up in IIS.

 

hope you can help

 

Thanks

@phillip_croxford WPAD isn't a silver bullet unfortunately - you'll still have problems with iOS and Android devices. I wrote a couple of posts about this on my blog... WPAD Archives | IrritableTech

 

In IIS you'll need to set up some MIME Types... .pac & .dat application/x-ns-proxy-autoconfig This site is useful reading... Deploying WPAD « FindProxyForURL - PAC & WPAD Resource
