iOS 6 update - cannot connect to wifi with proxy
We have 300 IPad 2's to configure and they cant connect to our wifi. Since the upgrade we can no longer connect our proxy network as we did before. We use an explicit proxy where we manually enter the proxy address. WPA2 Security. We contacted Apple support and after an hour they said they didn’t know how to resolve the issue and needed to research. This was 5 days ago so im reaching out to the Apple community. We contacted our proxy support BlueCoat and they have escalated the issue to their top level support. After the iOS 6 update we are basically dead in the water.
We select DHCP under our network settings and select Manual under the http Proxy settings. After filling in the Server, port, authentication info and try to connect, it immediately brings up a safari page that states "Error Opening Page - Hotspot login cannot open the page because it could not connect to the server".
The other issue we have even with iOS 5 is we could not connect to https sites.
