To authenticate with a username and password when using a proxy, you need to configure your proxy settings to include your credentials. Here are the general steps to follow:
- Open the proxy settings of the application or system you are using (e.g., web browser, operating system network settings, etc.).
- Look for the Proxy Authentication section or something similar where you can enter the authentication details.
- Provide the proxy server address and port in the respective fields. You may obtain this information from your proxy provider.
- Enable the authentication option or tick the box that says "Use Authentication" or similar. This should reveal additional fields for username and password.
- Enter your username and password in the appropriate fields. These credentials are provided by your proxy provider. If you are unsure, contact your proxy provider or network administrator for assistance.
- Save the settings and apply the changes.
After completing these steps, your application or system should use the provided username and password to authenticate when connecting through the proxy.
