Sorry, but actually LibO‘s proxy support is a very annoying thing.

I can confirm that LibO doesn‘t understand scripts or IE settings.

So I configured our proxy manually in the settings. Now when trying to access a
weblink, LibO prompts me for credentials. Instead of entering them, ticking
“use system credentials” let’s me access the web.

Why is “use system credentials” not the default behavior? I think that the
integrated authentication would work in most cases and only if not, LibO should
prompt the user for his credentials. The next problem here: this setting can't
be set in the options and so users have to tick it again each time they start
LibO.

To avoid that I decided to create a “proxy user” and stored its credentials in
the settings for all users. On the first view it worked but then I noticed,
that LibO for some weird reason doesn’t save this credentials for the proxy
itself, but only for the accessed website and you have to re-enter it again and
again.

Please fix that ASAP because at the moment LibO is unsuitable for all
environments running a webproxy.

For now making integrated authentication as a default and saving the „use
system credentials“ setting could be helpful.
