Description

Running microsocks -u 1 -P 1

When I do curl -U '1:1' --socks5 x.x.x.x http://icanhazip.com it works fine

When I set the same creds in OS X 10.14.4 settings curl http://icanhazip.com shows real ip and Chrome shows ERR_SOCKS_CONNECTION_FAILED

Not sure if this related to the issue but when I set proxy via cli sudo networksetup -setsocksfirewallproxy Ethernet x.x.x.x 1080 on 1 1 it shows error error -25299 attempting to create account and password for proxy

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the shown microsocks, curl, Chrome, and macOS networksetup commands on OS X 10.14.4. Compare authenticated command-line SOCKS5 behavior with the system proxy configuration and its error -25299 result. Done means the cause is identified and authenticated OS X proxy use works or is documented as unsupported.
