User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:34.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/34.0 Build ID: 20141127111021 Steps to reproduce: - Windows 7 joined to Active Directory - User is signed in with local Windows account, not a domain one - Firefox 31.3.0esr is configured to use proxy which supports both basic and negotiation authentication 1. I start Firefox 2. Proxy asks for login/password 3. User provide working credentials for proxy and start browsing Actual results: Proxy access log are filled with: - deny access to http://some.web.site - allow access to http://some.web.site - deny access to http://another.web.site - allow access to http://another.web.site Proxy system log are filled with: - WARNING: try negotiation and failed - auth with basic - WARNING: try negotiation and failed - auth with basic and so on Expected results: Proxy access log should have with: - deny access to http://some.web.site - allow access to http://some.web.site - allow access to http://another.web.site Proxy system log are filled with: - WARNING: try negotiation and failed - auth with basic - auth with basic - auth with basic - auth with basic and so on I.e. Firefox tries to use negotiation protocol and failed. So it falls back to basic authentication and Firefox tries to use negotiation again on every new connection. Firefox should not try to re-auth with negotiation (as it is already failed and fall back scheme found to be working) and should use only basic auth untill browser restarts or proxy settings are changed.
