NO-LONGER-VIABLE: Resolve login Issues in Komodo IDE behind Proxy

How To Tutorials
1

Some users have issues logging into Komodo when they are behind a proxy. Here are 2 ways to workaround the issue.

  1. One work-around is to take the system out from behind the man-in-the-middle, and authenticate once. Once is all that is required. The system can then be returned behind the proxy.

  2. If that is not possible, user keys can be transferred from a computer with a connection to a computer that has no or a problematic connection:

    1. Install Komodo on a computer that has a connection to the internet
    2. start it & login
    3. stop Komodo
    4. put your profile folder on a USB
      The Location of your profile folder is dependent on your OS: https://community.komodoide.com/t/important-file-locations/489
    5. carry your USB to your disconnected computer (this parts important)
    6. place those two files into the same location on the disconnected computer
      The specific files to grab are XRE\key3.db & XRE\logins.json
    7. start Komodo

Option 1 not viable,
Option 2 would be fine if we could get that far but we are blocked by another issue which is I can’t get beyond a cert issue on your site.

Why is it such a pain to log into this program? I can’t log in, too.
It’s idiotic.

Hi @strawberry_fieldsfor,

See this comment for a workaround:Login failed, it appears you are offline (again) - #14 by careyh

The workaround in this thread is no longer viable as the Mozilla that the last version of Komodo was built on is just too old. I’ve updated this threads title to reflect that.
