TSL Tips

Proxies

While Firefox is configured to use the normal UCT Wpad configuration, this doesn't work with most Linux programs, as they don't support NTLM authentication. Each TSL machine has a CNTLM proxy running on `localhost:8080`. It's configured in NTLM2Basic mode - many programs *can* use basic authentication.

Some programs, like Epiphany, will prompt you to enter a proxy username and password. Others, will just throw an error.

So, you can either configure your UCT Username and Password under System -> Preferences -> Network Proxy -> Details (don't worry - it only applies to your user) or you can choose "Direct Connection" and only access on-campus resources.

Wget

Create a file called `.wgetrc`:

proxy-user=ABCDEF001
proxy-password=secret-password

Pidgin

• Configure your accounts to use "No Proxy"

or

• choose "Gnome Proxy Settings" and configure your GNOME username and password as described above.
