Use of Proxy Preference

PostPosted: Wed Feb 08, 2012 10:54 pm

I have to authenticate with a firewall proxy to access external SVN repositories.
Our proxy requires login each day.
The preferences let me set this up, but does not prompt for password and resetting once client is open doesn't seem to work, without quit and restart.

I can't set this in Mac OS for other reasons so I use manual proxy config.

Any suggestions? TIA

Hi,

Syncro SVN Client allows you to configure a proxy and to provide necessary user authentication information to be used with it. These options are located in Options -> Preferences -> Connection settings option page -> sections Web Proxy (HTTP/HTTPS) (address and port) and Web Proxy authentication (HTTP/HTTPS) (user and password).

Having above information set correctly, Syncro SVN Client automatically authenticates you to the proxy every time you access it and there should be no repository communication problems.

Provide more details if there is something I missed or did not understand.

Florin:

Thank you for the reply.

I do follow the steps you outlined.
The problem I'm encountering is that our proxy password changes every day.
So it seems I have to enter the new password following the steps you outlined.
Am I missing something?

It would be nice if instead I fill in everything except the password and
then whenever I access a repository through the proxy firewall I'm prompted
for the password.

Thanks

Hi,

Unfortunately, for now Syncro SVN Client doesn't offer such a possibility.
I've added a new issue on our issue tracking tool to improve proxy authentication mechanism.
