Proxy authentication (Zscaler) and Firefox Sync
Hallo, my company's network as been recently upgraded with the Zscaler proxy solution. I was able to regain internet access by following that thread Firefox: This connection is untrusted + Behind corporate firewall (https://superuser.com/questions/115349/firefox-this-connection-is-untrusted-behind-corporate-firewall) . Unfortunately that dind't worked out for Firefox Sync. I'm able to log-in (verified by getting a mail from Firefox Accounts) but Firefox isn't stil able to sycn. I suspect that is somehow related to the certification signing process/getting token8gaining access what is properly blocked by zscaler:
Code:
1443703953083 FirefoxAccounts ERROR error POSTing /certificate/sign: {"code":401,"errno":109,"error":"Unauthorized","message":"Missing authentication","info":"https://github.com/mozilla/fxa-auth-server/blob/master/docs/api.md#response-format"}
Before FF 29 it seems it was possible to solve that issue see here: http://www.discourse.net/2010/12/how-to-solve-the-dreaded-firefox-sync-error-while-signing-in-problem/#comment-1358006
Asking IT to allow Firefox Sync/adding an exception is not an option. I'm glad that FF runs instead using the outdated IE 9. I'm fully aware of IT policies etc, that hasn't been a problem for some years.

If its the post error it sounds like an outbound issue, on the spot for the proxy web filtering.
Firefox Sync will try to make a connection on a timer. I am guessing you might have to add the sync urls to have permission to make those connections. These urls are listed in about:config under services.sync.clusterURL and https://token.services.mozilla.com/1.0/sync/1.5
thx I've already tried adding cluster URL in certificates -> server -> add exception but
- services.sync.clusterURL: https://sync-264-us-west-2.sync.services.mozilla.com/1.5/31260094/ "has a valid certifcate no need to download certificate
- same for https://token.services.mozilla.com/1.0/sync/1.5
may it will be different for #2 when I try it on Monday on my office PC
HI, it FF says the same on my office machine. Attached are screenshots of the 2 certificates
