Explains how to configure proxy server settings in SharePoint 2007, including passing user credentials and setting bypass rules for specific domains in the config file.
Well this was fun… All the examples of how to connect through a proxy from SharePoint are missing a crucial piece of information!
1<system.net>
2 <defaultProxy>
3 <proxy usesystemdefault = "false" proxyaddress="http://proxyservername" bypassonlocal="true" />
4 </defaultProxy>
5</system.net>
This is the accepted route, with an exception to e added to the proxy to use anonymous authentication…
But is you use:
1<defaultProxy useDefaultCredentials="true">
2 <proxy usesystemdefault="false" proxyaddress=http://proxyservername" bypassonlocal="true" />
3 <bypasslist>
4 <add address="[a-z]+.domain.biz" />
5 <add address="[a-z]+.domain2.biz" />
6 </bypasslist>
7</defaultProxy>
The required bit of which is the useDefaultCredentials parameter that passes the logged on users credentials on to the proxy server.
Now all I need to do is get the double-hop authentication to work…
