Hello,

i just wanted to ask if there is a possible way to force the managed devices to use a proxy server or a proxy autoconfig url.
Does anyone know something about this topic?

Thanks in Advance.
Kind Regards

Hello Alexander 

Thanks for your response.

You may try from the device end by using the script: 
 
 

setwifiproxy ssid host port

and put the proxy server address at host 

 
Example: 
 

To set up a WiFi proxy:

setwifiproxy 105 192.168.2.127 8080

 
 

Sets WiFi proxy settings using a provided host and port for the specified SSID. The access point ID should exist on the device before sending this command.

Note: Supported on devices running Android 4.0.

 Please let us know if it works for you. 

 

Regards

Hello,


Thank you for your answer.
But this method only sets the standard wifi/proxy settings. We set these up correctly while we enroll the devices.

The Problem is that android services or apps can decide for themselves if they use this proxy configuration or not. And it seems that google services dont use them from time to time.
I was looking for a way to enforce such a configuration for every connection on the device.

Thank you for your help
Regards
Alex
