Proxy Authentication on command line

vikas027 · 09-02-2011, 05:51 AM

Hi All,

I have a proxy with user and password in my network.

Normally, for password less proxies, we can export below variable to access internet (wget, ftp, http)

http_proxy=http://10.1.23.100:80/

But if in case I have domain credentials like

Quote:

username = abc\vikas
password = password@27

This works well on mozilla in runlevel 5.

I googled and tried the below options, but none worked for me.

Code:

http_proxy=http://abc\vikas:password@27:10.1.23.100:80/
http_proxy=http://abc\\vikas:password@27:10.1.23.100:80/
http_proxy=http://"abc\vikas":"password@27":10.1.23.100:80/
http_proxy=http://"abc\vikas:password@27":10.1.23.100:80/
http_proxy=http://'abc\vikas:password@27':10.1.23.100:80/
http_proxy=http://'abc\vikas':'password@27':10.1.23.100:80/

My goal is to access http urls via yum.

Any suggestions friends ?

Did you try

http_proxy=http://abc\\vikas

assword\@27@10.1.23.100:80

I think you have the quotes wrong as they should surround the entire proxy string. Also, in your examples you tried (posted above) you didn't have an '@' between the password and IP of your proxy. Not sure if that was a typo on your part.
I am also not sure if you need to escape the domain name and '@' in the password.

Technically I this should work:

Code:

export HTTP_PROXY='http://abc\vikas:password@27@10.1.23.100:80'

but if it doesn't, you might try variations such as:

Code:

export HTTP_PROXY='http://abc\\vikas:password\@27@10.1.23.100:80'

or

Code:

export HTTP_PROXY='http://abc\vikas:password\@27@10.1.23.100:80'

Thanks zQUEz, I have tried this too but it is not working for me.

Dear All,

Has anyone faced this issue ?

Any idea how to get proxy authentication working on command line.

vikas027 · 12-28-2011, 08:09 AM

May be these links prove useful for others.

Try to substitute all

'@' to '%40'
'/' to '%5C'

in username and password. Hope that works!

I have had this issue in my university proxy and solved it by simply changing the password '@' to '%' or '#' and it worked!
however let me know of what chnedward suggested works or not.

vikas027 · 01-09-2012, 08:11 AM

Hi chnedward and leblinux,

Many thanks for your time and efforts. But I have tried removing all "@" or "#" from my username/password.

I simply gave Vikas027 as password, but then also it did not worked.
