    My client uses a transparent proxy and I have set up a policy that d-nat all port 80 traffic to the ip address and port of their proxy. I then applied that policy to the user role.  All set right... done it many times in the past and it works no problem.

     

    Well on this particular site I am getting an error. It looks like the traffic is making it to the proxy but the proxy isn't liking it.

     

    See below for error that shows up in browser...

    Have any of you ran into this before? Is there something we need to set in the customers proxy to allow this traffic?

    Actualy the client is using a regular proxy and is not set up for transparent.

     

    I havn't tried it yet but I bet if we set his box up to do transparent proxy then it might work. Any ideas if it's possible to do the proxy settings in the aruba without his proxy being transparent?

    It relies on a tranparent proxy for this method, unfortunately.
