Windows – Proxy authentication for commandline in Windows

authenticationcommand linePROXYwindows

I am accessing web (port 80) using a proxy server which requires authentication. For web browser, it pops a window where I can enter my username and password but when I am using command-line (cmd) and try to run a program which uses web, no authentication window is poped and it says that authentication fails. I have entered proxy address in IE which the whole system uses but how can I find some alternative to authentication window for command-line?

The command line is not the one in charge of HTTP authentication - it is the program you run from the command line. There is no setting that would work for all command line run programs.

NPM install doesn’t work from behind our proxy which requires authentication – tried config set proxy=

Try to add double quote to your commands :

NPM CONFIG SET PROXY = "http://<domain>%5C<username>:<passwordwith#>@ddcrpit311v1.corp.<company>.global:8080"

and :

NPM CONFIG SET HTTPS-PROXY = "http://<domain>%5C<username>:<passwordwith#>@ddcrpit311v1.corp.<company>.global:8080"

This has worked for me. ;)
