Bluecoat Firefox authentication Pop-Up’s

Gil Kreslavsky — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 10:07:00 +0000

To solve the problem do the following:

Type in Firefox Browser – about:config
Find value “network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris” and add bluecoat host name

For https authentication is recommended to create Virtual URL and add a different port (not 443 ) https://bluecoatHostName:444

Also check DNS resolution of bluecoat applience ( probably you will need to add it manualy to your DNS serve
