When using the Access Gateway plug-in (Java) on Access Gateway Enterprise Edition, the plug-in will change the proxy settings of the browser to be able to send the traffic through the tunnel. The proxy then points to 127.0.0.1:3128.

When using browsers other than Internet Explorer, automatic proxy configuration is not available and the following dialog box appears at logon prompting users to manually change the proxy settings:

Instructions

Complete the following steps to disable proxy server dialog prompt for Access Gateway plug-in for Java:

1. Using WinSCP, connect to the Access Gateway and navigate to the /netscaler/ns_gui/vpns folder.

   

2. Double-click the vpn.html file to open it.

3. Locate the showProxyConfigPrompt line (this should be on line number 8) and change the value from true to false.

   

4. Click Save or press Ctrl+S keys to save the changes. The file is successfully changed, but the changes do not survive a appliance restart.

5. To ensure that the preceding settings survive a restart of the appliance, using WinSCP, go to /var folder and create a new folder called vpnsmod.

   

   

   

6. Copy the changed vpn.html file (located in /netscaler/ns_gui/vpns folder) to the computer desktop (drag and drop) and then to the vpnsmod folder (located under /var folder).
   The following dialog boxes appear:

   

   

7. To preserve these changes across system reboots, a file called rc.netscaler must be created under /nsconfig folder. The simplest way is to create a text file on the computer, edit and then rename it to rc.netscaler. The file should contain the following line:
   cp -r /var/vpnsmod/* /netscaler/ns_gui/vpns/

   Using WinSCP, copy it to /nsconfig folder.
   Note: If rc.netscaler file already exists under /nsconfig, then edit it and add the preceding mentioned line.
