[Q] Authenticate on Intranet websites? - Xoom Themes and Apps

I would like to use the xoom to view web pages on my companies intranet site when I am connected to the internal wifi. When I connect to a web page with the browser, I am promted for my login details. No matter how I try and put them in, I seem to be unable to connect. I have tried specifying my user name:
user
[email protected]
domain\user
When using a laptop not joined to the domain, I can use [email protected] or domain\user.
Does anyone know how I can connect to these secured sites? Is there another browser I should use or is this some kerberos/android incompatibility?

For me I just have to use my company email address
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App

id try out firefox if your are still having problems

we have a staff intranet, and I can log in using my normal username and password. must be the way you guys have it configured. sorry not much use, but just +1 for "works for me".

I have the same issue, I would like to log into my sharepoint site but I get a user/pass/domain auth challenge that no matter what I enter comes back incorrect.

I designed and installed and currently maintain the global network for my company, and I can tell you, we've had success with our Android OS users authenticating.
If the default authentication (domain\user) doesn't work, try using the FQDN of your domain (may not be a .com). If you work for XYZ Corp, you may have e-mail address [email protected], but your authentication may be [email protected]
You can check your domain info (provided your Exchange admin hasn't removed it) on your GAL contact card. Open Exchange (webmail or Outlook client) and open your contact card (search the GAL for yourself). Look under the "E-mail addresses" section). If you see something other than a global TLD (.com, .net, ...), you may want to try it. Alternatively, from a domain machine, type ipconfig /all and check what your DNS suffix is. That should get you rolling.
Worst case, check w/your IT department and see if you work with jerks or cool people Review access logs with them from your intranet site and see what username your device is sending. If you'd like, I can provide a simple Windows-based authentication site for you all to test, I will post and review logs with you.
Let me know if you want me to, I'll set up a website.

The stock browser doesnt support anything but basic authentication apparantly
Use firefox and it works

Firefox does seem to work, but the default browser is way better for all other things... oh well.

I guess you can't access the Wiki either.
Yup sure can...
"To download files, just use your browser. Make sure you include the username and password in the URL. You can also use a FTP client, such as CuteFTP to transfer files from the ftp to your computer."
****Click****
Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.
What you can try:
Check your Internet connection. Try visiting another website to make sure you are connected.
Retype the address.
Go back to the previous page.
More information
This problem can be caused by a variety of issues, including:
Internet connectivity has been lost.
The website is temporarily unavailable.
The Domain Name Server (DNS) is not reachable.
The Domain Name Server (DNS) does not have a listing for the website's domain.
If this is an HTTPS (secure) address, click tools, click Internet Options, click Advanced, and check to be sure the SSL and TLS protocols are enabled under the security section.
For offline users
You can still view subscribed feeds and some recently viewed webpages.

Anything else I can try? SmartFTP gives me "connected party did not properly respond after a period of time"
You ARE trying! However did you read the password section?

Short and sweet, ftp://xda:[email protected]/
mines not working either..even with the password version
Yup -- still no go. Passwords, links, etc... FTP not working.
My IE7 and SmartFTP Client both work. If you're using Firefox you need to get the FTP plugin. Other than that I can only suggest your firewall, etc as it's up!
if the ftp works. why is this thread still open?
thanks it was the firewall...dache turn off windows firewall and youll be set
if some of u can't access ftp then u can do it via the xda site that then brings u to the ftp site some times i have the problem that i can't access ftp but going first to xda site and clicking the link to the ftp site brings me there never had problems with this method :

Hotmail Inbox (port 443/8080/80)

Hi experts!
I need a little help in this one.
I want to access to my hotmail account in my inbox on my HTC.
I can only access to ports 80 443 and 8080
I have already tested httpmail Provider (which need a hotmail Plus subscription and I have only a @hotmail.com mail) ,and it crash with a Logging On and a screen with :'The server returned an invalid response (with a lot of jibberish **** and a (80042003), Error Source:HTTP Status :Logging On
I have already tested pocket hotmail 2.5 (it doesn't work ,it doesn't pass the Logging In and I get a: 'connecting to server failed)
I read some stuff about mail2web(actually good) ,with a not pratical solution ,going through hotmail->izymail ->gmail ->mail2web
but izymail doesn't keep a record of the mail,and most important thing it's not free.
So, what can I do ?
I know there is a HTTP way to get the mail (http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp)
With the Peracount app ,i would like to see if I'm receiving some mail.
Thanks in advance!
up
I velieve I installed windows livw from a cab I found on here. Let me knowi fyou cannot find it. Search for Windows Live 10[1].6.33.0600 (Fixed).zip
Windows Live for Windows Mobile
Microsoft actually makes it easy this time, though this page is not easy to find. Just load Windows Live for Windows Mobile and you are fixed.
Also it allows you to use your hotmail contacts and to save you phone contacts to hotmail
https://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/mobile/wl/download-en-us.mspx
I have tested both solutions:
As I said before ,I can only surf with ports 80 8080 and 443.
With Windows live (the fixed and with the link) I cannot pass the Checking Internet connection (I have one,I was surfing to test it).
I was thinking develop a small app which connects to the HTTP site and try to catch if there are any new mail and put it on the today screen.
But I cannot believe there is no solution for my problem.
Could you give us more details about Windows Live app not connecting. I use that app for my hotmail and it works flawlessly.
Whose your service provider? (IE, T-Mobile, at&t)
I'm on a french provider : SFR .
The problem is that I cannot pass the Checking Internet connectivity.
I think the problem is the port (it must be testing another ports rather than 80 8080 or 443).
I think his internet connection is wap based (via proxy) and that's why he can't pass the internet connection check
Yes ,I think that's the problem.
That's why i was wondering if a small app cannot go to the hotmail site (http) and catch some information
Are your connections settings using a proxy server?
Yes ,it is using a proxy server to connect to Internet ,and then it blocks all ports except 80 8080 and 443
hey, had same exact problem. on tmobile USA's tzones plan it uses a proxy connection so windows live doesnt work. after lots of time, i finally figured out one way that works perfectly. first, you have to upgrade to hotmail plus. you can now set it up like any other pop3 email account. search google for hotmail pop3 to find the settings, otherwise ill post them for you when i get home. this is the ONLY way i ever got it working. good luck
Is there any way you can set up a connection profile without using a proxy server?
With at&t for example, connecting via a proxy is only necessary for accessing the Media Net home web page.
@ omaralt :
Hotmail plus is free ?
@GWelker62
All data must pass via the proxy
no, its $20/year, well worth it for me

I would suggest spending the pocket change like omaralt suggests, and get hotmail plus.

yep i have... I am assuming that my exchange serve does not allow non-provisional devices.
yeah same problem with me...but i found a way around it
you have to go to your outlook and in the connection settings, enable outlook anywhere
i'll tell you step by step but the site does it better..
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HP101024441033.aspx
once your done, put the domain in your phone (the https site without the https)
let me know if that works

hi zidane,
Thanks for the instructions. However I tried the method in the website, but still din work for me.
can you tell me you settings?
email: [email protected]
server address: xxxmail.com
domain: xxx
username: abcde
password: **** (includes a dot.)
SSL selected
At my outlook:
connection tab -> selected "Exchange over the Internet"
Under connection settings: Use this URL to connect to my proxy server for Exchange -> "https://xxxmail.com"
Proxy authentication settings -> NTLM Authntication
for the url, if the https:// is already written on the side you do not need to re-write it again...
then u tick the use SSL box, then tick the box under that and write "msstd:xxxmail.com"
and keep everything else the same...

[Off-Topic] How do I setup a connection to my home web server?

(Don't blame me for being long-winded, I'm just explaning the situation (why I want to do all these) and also to prevent people from asking questions such as "Why do you even want to host your website at home?")
I want to pay for web hosting, but, as a student, I can't. I also want to host all my Android Development on my site, apart from XDA and Samdroid. But, I can't use a credit card (obviously, my country dosen't allow ownage of CCs before 21), and free web hosts (sorry for shouting) S*CK. Slow loading, banning because of CPU-hogging/ too many cron jobs, etc, etc... Also, my parents are paranoid about their credit card details being sold online at exorbitant prices. I do understand that web hosting is expensive, and it is not really wise to allow free web hosting, and I do not want to blame them for banning me, hence I decided to host my website from home. *catches breath* I do have some prior knowledge of fixing stuff, and whipping old parts into one lean mean computing machine. I've set up the computer, and configured my router. I can view the web site (It's good'ol wordpress) when I typed my local IP into the web browser from another computer in the home network. But, when I tried to access using the public IP from my school, I cannot enter the site. I have previously configured port-forwarding. I used No-IP's dynamic DNS client in this case. When I checked my public IP using different websites, all gave me different information. One gave me an IP with 255.244.***.***, another gave me 157.209.***.***, and others gave me 255.250.***.***
1) How do I make sure that when someone types in a URL or IP, it will show me what I want them to show?
2) Why are different websites give me different public IPs? No, I don't have a firewall, or a proxy.
We need more information:
1. Who is your internet provider
2. How do you connect? ADSL/SDSL/T1/Dial up?
3. If its ADSL/SDSL then you'll have a router (unless they've given you a USB modem for it). We'll need to know what type.
4. What's your concection speed, both down and more importantly up.
Now, assuming your ISP doesn't give you web space that you could use, then you'll need the following:
You'll need a dynamic dns service, some are free.
You'll need a router which can forward http (TCP port 80) traffic from the internet to your web server.
Once the router is forwarding http traffic to the web server, people on the internet will be able to access your website.
If you want to access it using the same address then you'll have to update your hosts file on your computer.
For windows this is in C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Add an entry like:
dynamic dns web address IP address of webserver
So if you've set up arikyeo.dyndns.org and your webserver's internal IP address is 192.168.0.200 then you'd add the following to the hosts file:
arikyeo.dyndns.org 192.168.0.200

I used No-IP dynamic DNS service, with their client. But, it didn't work. I am using Singtel as my ISP, with a Linksys B/G router. I have forwarded the port 80 to the IP, and set port 80 as an exception. I can view the site locally, but not from the outside world.
Setup your no ip on their site as a port 80 forward. Forward this to the local port on your computer that you are using for the server. Log into your router and port forward the same port that you put in for the no ip into the from and to ports section and be sure its forwarding to your lan ip. After this is done then try it.

I see that you have already been told how best to start your server. I can also recommend instructions for collecting server statistics https://www.host-tracker.com/Blog/server_m/ This will come in handy for you in the future. Here you can configure notifications for server failures.

[Q] Getting the App store to work over corporate domain Proxy server

One of my problem with just taking up the windows 8 phone challange is that inside a corprate network with a Proxy server in place that requires authentication the App store no longer works.
The advanced Wifi settings do not allow you to add a username / password to authenticate either and the browser setting don't allow you to enter anything regarding a proxy at all.
Has anyone got any ideas or developed anything to get around this problem?
The workarounds so far are to allow a seprate SID with open access as ISA servers even with a bypass rule fail to allow traffic for the APP store to pass.
Same here.
I can only browse with IE, I put the address of the proxy at the navbar (192.168...ect) then the IE ask for username/pass
i can,browse the internet, but the app store doesn't work, neither some apps like whatsapp for example
edit: same,with my wife's LG G2, I can browse the net, but the play store is not working.... I don't know much about the proxy servers so can't figure out why this happen
