Hi
I have done a bit of homework on this but I am really getting sick of going through hundreds of pages who have just copied the same thing.
Here is the thing:
in your gnome proxy settings you set up address and port. There is the details which can get your username and password for the proxy server.
On your server side with an application like squid, you set up basic authentication. When you try to use Internet through the proxy you get the nasty pop up from your browser that asks for username and password. Apparently these two have nothing to do with each other.
Just in case necessary to know...
Squid is 2.7 and its authentication method is ncsa
Any idea what I am missing?
