    any updates or solution to the above post

    Was wondering if there is a mechanism to leverage proxy in both context. i.e User Context (browser) and from System Context. (using netsh winhttp set proxy)

    while all url's can works fine in the User's context - ie. proxy defined in the browser) there are few URl's pertaining to Azure AD which needs to get connected in the system context prior to user login - else the authentication does not pass thru and user cannot login to the device

    any assistance or clues ??
