Description Mike Pope 2009-02-17 00:19:58 UTC
Description of problem:

Since "upgrading" to kde 4.2 konqueror no longer handles the NTLM challenge from the corporate proxy server, preventing all external web access.
Akregator is likewise borked.  This is a serious regression from the last kde 4.1 package.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kdebase-4.2.0-2.fc10.i386

How reproducible:
Attempt to access any non-local URL with konqueror.

Actual results:

Proxy replies with "407 Authentication Required", and konqueror stops there.
I can provide tcpdump output if it helps.

Expected results:

On receipt of the 407 konqueror should try to find a suitable username/password in an available wallet or prompt the user for such, and retry with that, satisfying the proxy and allowing the connection to proceed.

Additional info:

The proxy is specified with "Configure - Konqueror/Proxy/Manual specify the proxy settings", which have been checked and verified to work with firefox, same as they did before the upgrade.  However using the auto-proxy url produces the same breakage.

I have tried clearing kwallet, reinitializing with known good passwords, restarting etc, to no effect.  I have cleared every cache I can find.

Best to report to bugs.kde.org.  That's the best way to get upstream developer attention.

Comment 2 Steven M. Parrish 2009-03-17 00:29:28 UTC
Thank you for the bug report.  This issue needs to be addressed by the upstream developers.  Please submit a report at http://bugs.kde.org. You are requested to add the bugzilla link here for tracking purposes. Please make sure the bug isn't already in the upstream bug tracker before filing it.

Reported as https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=184588, where it is claimed to be fixed in KDE 4.2.1.  Any chance of an update for F10?  This is pretty debilitating to those cursed with corporate firewalls.

Comment 4 Kevin Kofler 2009-03-17 23:28:22 UTC
4.2.1 has already been pushed as an update for Fedora 10. It went out to the stable updates on Monday evening. Does it fix the issue for you?

Comment 5 Mike Pope 2009-03-18 00:14:55 UTC
Good to hear, but the local mirrors are not that quick.  I will report back when I have the packages.

Comment 6 Steven M. Parrish 2009-04-27 17:55:12 UTC
Its been more than 30days since last update going to close as WORKSFORME. Please reopen if the issue returns.
