https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=256360 Summary: Error handling proxy credentials like "domain\user" Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: xeon@sysroot.eu QAContact: jsrain@novell.com I found an error in the way proxy credentials are handled by Yast and his related software manager tools. My network is: an host with openSUSE 10.2 fully patched, and an authenticated proxy which gives Internet access. Proxy credentials are validated to a domain. So users login name for the proxy is in the form "domain\user". If I specify proxy settings in Yast (Yast -> Network services -> Proxy), to make the button "Test Proxy Settings" work I have to specify username with double backslash (for example: domain\\user). But when I try to update or to install software the proxy reject me because other applications send the credentials to the proxy with a single backslash, because they interpret it. If I specify in the proxy settings the username with a single backslash (domain\user) the button "Test Proxy Settings" doesn't work (because it use the username literally, checked with wireshark), but I successfully reach the update servers. This misuse of the backslash can be found also in the "Online update configuration" tool: to search update mirrors it use the username literally, to connect to it and retrieve updates list it use the username interpreted. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
