GitHub Authenticator doesn't respect proxy settings

[nickolasb]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No

• VS Code Version: 1.78.0
• OS Version: Windows 11 Enterprise 22H2 22621.1555

I'm trying to use the "sync settings" feature but I'm behind a corporate proxy.
Presumably there is a configuration for that:
"http.proxyStrictSSL": false

However I still got this error:
FetchError: request to https://vscode.dev/codeExchangeProxyEndpoints/github/login/oauth/access_token failed, reason: self signed certificate in certificate chain

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Turn On Settings Sync...
2. Sign in & Turn on
3. Sign in with GitHub
4. After login and returning to VSCode the logs show the error above.

Please, what am I missing here? Are there other configs that affect it?

My case is same as OP except I am using Microsoft.

Could you install the Network Proxy Test extension (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=chrmarti.network-proxy-test) and check the output of F1 > Network Proxy Test: Test Connection in VS Code?

If you cannot install the extension through the Extensions viewlet in VS Code, you can use the Download Extension link on the above linked page and then install the downloaded VSIX with F1 > Extensions: Install VSIX....

This is very likely #181404. Use F1 > Network Proxy Test: Show OS Certificates to check the certificate for "caadmin.netskope.com (netSkope Inc)" is present.
