Modifica impostazioni proxy firefox tramite gpo per tutti gli utenti desktop virtuale su citrix

Question

Buongiorno a tutti,

sto provando da giorni tramite gpo e file mozilla.cfg a modificare le impostazioni del proxy firefox ma senza ottenere risultati. L'impostazione che vorrei raggiungere è la seguente:

di default su qualsiasi utente (administrator ed user) "nessun proxy" con la possibilità di poter modificare l'opzione "nessun proxy" per eventuali utenti che magari vogliono utilizzare un proxy, questa configurazione deve essere impostata solo su firefox.

Resto a disposizione per ulteriori informazioni e grazie per il supporto.

Hi,

I'd be happy to help you out with your question.

Here are the steps on how to do this:

1. Open the Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc).
2. Navigate to the following location:

Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer > Internet Control Panel > Content

3. In the right pane, double-click the "Proxy Settings" policy.
4. In the "Settings" section, select the "Enable" radio button.
5. In the "Proxy server address" box, enter the IP address or hostname of the proxy server.
6. In the "Port" box, enter the port number of the proxy server.
7. If you want to allow users to override the proxy settings, select the "Allow users to override proxy settings" check box.
8. Click "OK" to save your changes.

Once you have made these changes, the proxy settings will be applied to all virtual desktop users on Citrix. Users will be able to override the proxy settings by opening the Firefox Options dialog and clicking on the "Advanced" tab. In the "Network" section, users can uncheck the "Use a proxy server for your LAN" checkbox and enter the proxy settings manually.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind:

• The GPO settings will only be applied to users who are logged in to the virtual desktop. If a user is logged in to their local machine, the GPO settings will not be applied.
• If you are using a proxy server that requires authentication, you will need to specify the username and password in the GPO settings.
• If you are using a proxy server that requires a username and password, you will need to specify the username and password in the mozilla.cfg file. The mozilla.cfg file is located in the following directory:

%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles<profile name>\prefs.js

To specify the proxy settings in the mozilla.cfg file, add the following lines to the file:

network.proxy.type = 1

network.proxy.http = <proxy server address>

network.proxy.http_port = <port number>

network.proxy.username = <username>

network.proxy.password = <password>

After you have made these changes, restart Firefox. The proxy settings will be applied.
