[CentOS] Tomcat with squid username/password

Hi,

I am trying to help my friend on this

------------------------------------------------------------------------ --

Hi,

I have an application deployed on tomcat 5.5 with java 1.6.0_07.

Occasionally the application needs to connect through our proxy to the outside to collect patches.

I've added the following options to the JAVA_OPTS and restarted tomcat.

-Dhttp.proxyUser =username -Dhttp.proxyPassword =password -Dhttp.proxyHost=proxy.company.com.au http://proxy.company.com.au -Dhttp.proxyPort=3128

Using snoop on the squid proxy I can see the requests, but the username/password combinations are not being sent and the tomcat application receives a 407/DENIED message.

Is there a reason the username/password are not being sent? Our squid proxy uses both NTLM and basic authentication.

thanks

Harry
