I installed slimserver 6.5.4 on a ubuntu box (through apt), everything seems to work fine, except that I have a proxy server with authentification (my user has full access, but some other users not..), I tried to enter user:pass@ip:port in the proxy server, but in the slimserver it rejects it, I then entered it in the slimserver.pref file, but it just ignores whats in front of the ip.
I then installed the squeezecenter (dev version, through apt), and by entering user:pass@ip:port it accepts that syntax and creates:
webuser: user
webpassword: pass
webproxy: ip:port
in the conf file, but then when I want to do the setup it can't authentificate on the squeezenetwork, and the logs show that it's not using the authentification settings, so thats why its not working. (btw with the 6.5.4 version I could at least access the slimserver through http on the 9000 port, with the new one it just blocks at the squeezenetwork authentification..)
I guess the user/pass settings although accepted, are not used because they are not implemented in the application .. ?
Also tested this on 7.0 and get the same results.
