How to Use Basic/Clear Text and the Default Automatic Configuration URL

MORE INFORMATION

When multiple computers running Proxy Server 2.0 are joined in an array, you can use the default Automatic Configuration URL setting in the browser properties.

By default, Proxy Server uses the following Automatic Configuration URL to point to an array: If your proxy array has Access Control enabled, then one of the following authentication methods will be set on the Default Web Site: Basic/Clear Text or NTLM.

If the client is configured to use the default Automatic Configuration URL and only Basic/Clear Text is enabled on the Proxy Server computer, instead of being promoted only once, the browser client may be prompted for authentication against each member of the array before the Internet site is displayed. This behavior is by design; it occurs on all browsers.
