Authentication access to a proxy

homaxto Sep 1, 2011 3:18 AM

We have several installations of our application running in environments where internet access is restricted, and can only be made thru a proxy. Setting up a proxy is farely simple using -Dhttp.proxyHost=127.0.0.1 -Dhttp.proxyPort=3128. Now my problem is that those proxies in our case always requieres authentication. How do I make this authentication? It appears to me that this is not something that JBoss supports.

We are running JBoss 4.3.0.GA_CP09, and upgrading to v5 is not in pipeline at the moment.

Hi,

does this help: http://community.jboss.org/thread/162475

For a sample of a password Authenticator, see this: http://blog.vinodsingh.com/2008/05/proxy-authentication-in-java.html

Best regards
