sophos web appliance Firefox

Question

Is there a way to prevent the firefox from prompting for a password?

I know theres a settings in the about:config but i want to avoid doing that.

If there is a way to mass deploy that setting in a script?

I tried authenticating the application but its not working.

It only happens on firefox

Hello dtuen,

In order to avoid the prompt, you need to allow Firefox to send NTML credientials to the Web Applaince by setting the about:config setting you mentioned; this is a security feature set by Mozilla.

Mozilla does have some information about deloying Firefox with settings located here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Deployment:Deploying_Firefox
