Well this was fun... All the of how to connect through a proxy from SharePoint are missing a crucial piece of information!

<system.net>
      <defaultProxy>
         <proxy usesystemdefault = "false" proxyaddress="http://proxyservername" bypassonlocal="true" />
      </defaultProxy>
   </system.net> 

 

This is the accepted route, with an exception to e added to the proxy to use anonymous authentication...

But is you use:

<defaultProxy useDefaultCredentials="true">
      <proxy usesystemdefault="false" proxyaddress=http://proxyservername" bypassonlocal="true" />
      <bypasslist>
        <add address="[a-z]+\.domain\.biz" />
        <add address="[a-z]+\.domain2\.biz" />
      </bypasslist>
    </defaultProxy>

The required bit of which is the useDefaultCredentials parameter that passes the logged on users credentials on to the proxy server.

smile_regular Now all I need to do is get the double-hop authentication to work...
