If your organization’s web proxy requires user authentication and is configured to accept basic authentication (username and password), you must store your credentials before using Unity applications.
If you use Unity on macOS, use the following procedure. For Windows, refer to Store credentials for automatic proxy configuration (Windows). For other platforms and environments, refer to Alternatives for other platforms and environments.
The following procedure is based on the Apple Support article, Enter proxy server settings on Mac.
Open the Apple menu () and select System Settings (or System Preferences on older versions of macOS).
Select the Network category.
Select a network service from the list, then click Details (or Advanced on older versions of macOS).
Select Proxies.
Enable one of the following options. If you select multiple options, Unity uses the first web proxy returned by the operating system for a given URL.
If you selected a manual method, fill in the required information. If your proxy server requires a password, enable Proxy server requires password and then enter your user name and password.
Select OK.
If you selected an automatic method in Step 5, and the web proxy requires a password, you might have to manually add the web proxy credentials in the Keychain Access application. In this case, temporarily configure your network settings by enabling Web proxy (HTTP) and Secure web proxy (HTTPS) (Steps 5 and 6). These options create the Keychain entries for you. After you apply these changes, you can disable the Web proxy (HTTP) and Secure web proxy (HTTPS) options, leaving one of the automatic options enabled.
Note: Although these proxy server settings are now stored, you might receive prompts for credentials. Common scenarios are:
|
Unity’s automatic proxy configuration feature doesn’t fully support some platforms and environments. Some examples are:
In such cases, consider the following alternatives:
For CI\CD pipelines that run in a Windows environment, use cmdkey to add credentials to Windows Credential Manager from the command line interface (CLI). Refer to cmdkey on Microsoft Learn for examples.
For environments that don’t support storage of credentials, you can define the proxy configuration in environment variables. This definition can also include username and password, if necessary. For more information, refer to Use environment variables to identify your web proxy.
If neither basic authentication nor Unity’s automatic proxy configuration is an option, you’ll need to define exceptions in your web proxy so it doesn’t require authentication for resources requested by Unity applications.
