Dear users and developers of opendental,

That's more of an enterprise level feature. You could put in a feature request.

In the meantime, have you considered controlling access to your proxy using Active Directory authentication?

I'm looking in the C# framework to see if there are appropriate classes included for this purpose. If there are, then it's a simple matter for us to let users specify those values. When you push the check for updates button, it makes an xml web service request to our server. I suppose this is different than an http request for a website which you could simply add to your filtering rules. So I'm looking at the functions available, and there seems to be a property for the service request called "Proxy". It's described as "gets or sets proxy information for making an XML Web service request through a firewall." When constructing a proxy, we are required to specify an address. The example they give is "http://proxyserver:80". In addition to the address, we can specify Credentials, described as "the credentials to submit to the proxy server for authentication." The available fields for Credentials are userName, password, and domain(optional). The proxy object also has a field called BypassOnLocal which can be set to true or false. It is described as "true to bypass the proxy for local addresses; otherwise, false". The default seems to be false, and I'm not really sure what that means.

The reason I'm providing all this detail is because you are obviously more familiar with your proxy situation. It seems to me that if we allowed an address, userName, and password, that it should work. Do you agree? We will have no way to test it.

Mikhail-

Just curious - do you have a subscription to Microsoft Action Pack?

Yes, that's it. I just added it for version 6.7.

in your post made it sound as if you were in-house IT for a large practice...so no, it'd wouldn't help...
