Windows 8 Store does not respond to authentication requests. This can cause errors with downloading applications through the proxy.
Authentication can be bypassed in the Authentication Manager.
- Navigate to User Management – Authentication and select the Bypass tab¹.
- Click the
button². - Create the following three separate entries (with asterisks):
| URL or Domain | User-Agent |
| *.apps.microsoft.com | * |
| *ws.microsoft.com | * |
| * | MSappsHost/* |
¹ For version 6.8.3a and earlier: Advanced Settings – Proxy Settings – Authentication Manager
² For version 6.8.3a and earlier: Click Add new bypass entry at the bottom of the Bypassed section of the screen.
