The bugs you mentioned are resolved as fixed or worksforme, Bug 45378 should be reopened from what I see from your too short description and that one in that bug. You can´t have tested Mozilla 1.5, so what did you test? Mozilla releases 1.4 and 1.5a, or current nightlies? Can you post Build IDs? They can be seen in the title of nightlies, and can be copied and pasted from about:Mozilla verified fixed: Bug 67465 Mozilla prompts for id & pass when accessing sites w/ certificates from behind a firewall verified/worksforme: Bug 45378 Pop up authentication window for firewall proxy still doesnt work correctly.

What do you mean with "The popUp Windows is cleared and nothing happens." ? If you use a MS Proxy with NTLM and also basic Auth : Do you use the username "DOMAIN\USERNAME" instead of "USERNAME" ? Please attach a Http log if this isn't true or if that doesn't work : http://www.mozilla.org/projects/netlib/http/http-debugging.html There is no reason to reopen the old and useless bug 45378 -> major (doesn't block Mozilla development)

Yes, I mean the Pop up authentication window. I have to enter "Domain name" and "Userid" in the first line and my password in the second line (works with Netscape 7.02). Tomorrow I am working again with the PC behind the firewall proxy and I will give you the missing information. (Sorry for the duplicate records, there was a problem with the data transmission)

I found the reason: netscape 7.02 accepts a slash and a back-slash between domain name and userid, Mozilla only accepts a back-slash "\".

Klaus: very interesting! i think i understand why there is a difference. with Mozilla 1.4, "domain\user" will be parsed to extract the domain and the user separately for use when NTLM authentication is required. however, if the server issues a Basic auth challenge, then the "domain\user" or "domain/user" will be treated as the entire username to be sent over to the server. in older version of mozilla (and derivatives such as Netscape 7.02), there was no support for NTLM. probably your firewall accepts both NTLM and Basic authentication. since NTLM is more secure than Basic auth, more recent Mozilla builds will choose NTLM over Basic. however, older versions would only choose Basic. i'm guessing that the proxy server accepts either "domain\user" or "domain/user" as valid Basic auth usernames. now, this all means that this bug could be marked INVALID or WONTFIX unless we decide that Mozilla should treat "domain/user" as "domain\user"... it probably just depends on what MS IE does.

thanks matti... marking this as a duplicate. this problem should go away once we have a full NTLM prompt with separate fields for domain, username, and password. see bug 199674. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 214599 ***
