Prompt for proxy authentication in Download Connector

I am in a corporate environment where our proxy settings are centrally managed and I do not have the ability to change them locally.

Our proxy requires authentication to access the Internet.

Many applications that read the system settings for proxies have a way to let the user enter her credentials, either in a configuration dialog beforehand or with a pop-up for each connection.

Having at least one of these options would save me a number of steps I must currently take manually, out side of Alteryx.

I cannot get an exception on the proxy for my IP address or MAC because that violates our security policy. I am sure I'm not the only one in that situation.

I support this - the proxy issue is a real pain on corporate networks, and most people end up using CURL (which is an unfortunate workaround)

This idea is inactive in part because it is duplicated by a number of others, some of which will be attracting the Likes that this would need to hit 10. It's quite possible in this situation that an idea with many likes will never hit the threshold as they are split over a number of threads.

 

Please find a way to combine idea threads so that the real demand is obvious.
