I have wrestled with this problem from within java years ago, before a solution existed, the solution that finally evolved was an API in java to talk LDAP, specifically to microsoft active directory servers. Validation and NT user/group information them becomes available regardless of what platform the client is running on. just an thought towards a very general solution. 2009/5/25 Marco Schmidt <Marco.Schmidt@taugamma.de>
I'm using Pharo "sometimes" behind a coorperate firewall. The following snippet helps me to setup squeak/pharo for me: HTTPSocket useProxyServerNamed: 'proxyhsotname' port: 80 proxyUser: 'DOMAIN\USERNAME' password: 'HelloWorld42'.
Another alternative is to use an tool like PROXIMOTRON. This tools creates a local proxy server which forwards http connections to your corporate firewall. WARNING: This could be against your coorporates policy.

Hi all,
I would like to use Pharo behind a corporate firewall with a proxy with NTLM authentication. Having read the thread "Proxy with authentication support" ( http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/pipermail/pharo-project/2009-May/008717.html)<http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/pipermail/pharo-project/2009-May/008717.html%29> I thought I might try if it works with NTLM. Short version: It doesn't. ;-)
Has someone solved that particular problem?
Thanks for your support!
Cheers, Bernhard
