Changing username and password of fiddler proxy server

Question

I'm using Fiddler to setup a proxy server, but when enabling "Require Proxy Authorization" under the rules menu the username/password is always 1. How do I change the username/password?

I tried changing oSession["X-AutoAuth"] = "username:password"; but it doesn't change the proxy credentials required.

Can't find anything in the documentation regarding this...

Answer 1

The X-AutoAuth flag concerns what credentials Fiddler sends to an upstream server when automatically replying to an authentication challenge; it has no impact on what credentials are demanded of the user.

You can change the credentials expected by Fiddler by setting the preference fiddler.proxy.creds to the base64 encoded username:password string. The default value is MToX which is the base64 encoded version of the string 1:1. You can compute the base64 value you need using the Tools > TextWizard feature in Fiddler.

To update the preference, click into the QuickExec box below Fiddler's Web Sessions list and type prefs set fiddler.proxy.creds YOURBASE64StringHere and hit Enter.
