Transparent Proxy - After the Authentication Re-directions browser not listing the original site address.

[Sriram Purusothaman]

Hi All,

We are using the transparent Proxy and authentication is enabled. While accessing the http sites, we could see that browser redirected to authentication url. After the authentication site loaded successfully. But the browser address bar still showing the authentication virtual url not the original URL.
All the https sites working properly. Issue only for the http sites.

Thanks in Advance..

Hi Sriram,

This working in HTTPS and not in HTTP is not one that I have seen before. In HTTP, does the original site load, but the browser still shows the virtual URL? or does it get stuck on the virtual URL?

Thanks!

Hi Jacob,

Original site is loaded is successfully. But only the browser is showing the virtual URL.

Thanks

Hi Sriram,

That is odd. I would use the Network Developer Tools section of the browser to see what requests are being made. It almost sounds like an issue with the browser if the page is loaded successfully, but the browser didn't update the URL from the virtual URL after it redirected back.

Thanks!

Agree with checking the Developer Tools to see what requests are being made.  Could be client side code updating the displayed URL inaccurately.  Reminds me of browser displaying mail.yahoo.com where the browser never connects to mail.yahoo.com; client side code only display that address for user comfort (also gets around blocked email category).
