Problem with checking external websites with proxy authentication

Votes:

0

Hello all,

We have PRTG V 22.2.76.1705 x64.

We're trying to monitor an external website that requires us to go through our proxy server (= FortiGate 500E). We've setup "Advanced Http" sensor and have configured the proxy settings in the appropriate place with a user that has connection to the Internet, but the sensor always responds with:

"HTTP/1.1 407 Proxy Authentication Required"

Looking at the FortiGate logs, we can not find any request to google.com from the IP of the PRTG server.

Monitor un internal website is OK.

Many thanks for any information about this issue.

The HTTP Advanced Sensor has an option to enter the username and password in the settings, this is for the proxy. Can you add this on the sensor settings?
