http_proxy in solaris10 sparc?
Hi,
Can someone help me on configuring the proxy login from the solaris 10 (sparc)? I need to setup the http proxy so the box can reach internet doing some download and other things.
Is there similar thing like http_proxy i can do for solaris? Would be appreciated if someone can show me the step on configuring it. By the way, is there anyway i can make it prompt user to enter password (or/and username) upon access internet from shell?
ps: would prefer to do it on command line

Hi Gheist,
does that export mean I going to allow system wide accessing using that single username/password? is there anyway to limit the access of proxy for per user credential basis(ie. each user have to use their own login and password to get through proxy to internet)?

hmm i tried the http approach, but not sure if it is because the last character of my password is '@' , or sth else causing issue. I doesn't seem to able to get anything download using pca "http://www.par.univie.ac.at/solaris/pca/installation.html"
bash-3.00$ pca -l all

my wget work with normal http download but not https download. Not too sure what's wrong here. My web browser has no trouble to access https site.
bash-3.00# echo $http_proxy
http://username:password@companyproxy.com:8080
bash-3.00# echo $https_proxy
http://username:password@companyproxy.com:8080
bash-3.00# echo $http_proxy
http://username:password@companyproxy.com:8080

Can someone else with more knowledge able to help me for this issue?
From the error log, it had probably already pass the authentication stage (hence the work 'connected'). But somehow, it doens't get pass the https for the proxy? During my normal browsing, I don't usually enter credential twice.
Btw, what would the error 400 stand for proxy error return ?

well.. the problem is when going thro http, most pacakge are not found. Not sure if it is because i use "--noreboot" and "--safe". But only 10% of package get update make me wonder if http access allow all the update package to be done.
