I'm a newbie :)

My context: I installed Ubuntu in a desktop behind a proxy that needs authentication, its very very boring because I need to configure proxy's URL, and to enter my username and password in everything, example: firefox, eclipse, and etc...

I need something to leave it in a transparent way(for programs, it would be as if they are in a direct connection)

There is a natively way (or third-party program) that allows to storage my proxy authentication(preferably, encrypted), and Ubuntu ALWAYS use this information to ALL System and software?

Proxy parameters

File /etc/bash.bashrc:

    export http_proxy=http://username:password@proxyserver.net:port/
    export https_proxy=http://username:password@proxyserver.net:port/
    export ftp_proxy=http://username:password@proxyserver.net:port/

File /etc/environment:

http_proxy=http://username:password@proxyserver.net:port/
https_proxy=http://username:password@proxyserver.net:port/
ftp_proxy=http://username:password@proxyserver.net:port/

File /etc/apt/apt.conf:

 Acquire::http::Proxy "http://username:password@proxyserver.net:port";
 Acquire::https::Proxy "http://username:password@proxyserver.net:port";
 Acquire::ftp::Proxy "http://username:password@proxyserver.net:port";

clamav installed, file /usr/local/etc/freshclam.conf

 HTTPProxyServer proxyserver.net
 HTTPProxyPort port

wgwt, file /etc/wgetrc:

In line 84 or where says:

Change to:

   #http_proxy = http://proxy.yoyodyne.com:18023/
   #ftp_proxy = http://proxy.yoyodyne.com:18023/

Change to:

http_proxy=http://username:password@proxyserver.net:port/
https_proxy=http://username:password@proxyserver.net:port/

You can set up automatic authentication by going to to your System Settings -> Network Then change manual to automatic and set your proxys etc.
