PAC files that requires authentication

Post#1 by bma619 » 28 Jul 2015, 21:29

Hi all,

I'm having a bit of trouble setting up proxy provided by z-scaler (https://www.zscaler.com/) was hoping to find some help.

Because I can't authenticate with the service before the wizard downloads the browsers, I am unable to move forward to the next steps of the installation.

Does anyone know of a way to put the pac file location in after browsers are installed or is there a way to have the browsers installed offline rather than online?

Anything help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks all

@bma619
I have updated 3.4.0 ISO recently so you can include all standalone components in (browsers, all modules, uefi.zip, initrd.xz) the /xzm folder and during installation the items which were not selected in the wizard will be dumped. You can download them from here:
http://porteus-kiosk.org/public/3.4/

if your proxy pac requires authentication then i'm worrying that installation still wont move forward as wizard has to be downloaded from kiosk server (you cant include it in the ISO).
i will try to find out how to handle proxy pac with authentication.

after quick digging - i dont think its possible to use proxy pac with authentication unless you setup local proxy server in kiosk as described here:

let us know if you succeeded
