Description Barrie Treloar

2007-01-31 17:51:47 EST

Build ID: M20060629-1905

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Be behind a Microsoft ISA NTLM authenticating Proxy
2. Create a JIRA connector to http://jira.atlassian.com
3. Enter correct username/password in connector
4. Click "Validate Settings" 
5. See the popup "(407)Proxy Authentication Required..."

Isn't there some common eclipse code for handling URL connections via proxies?  Something equivalent to jakarta commons-http? 

Mylar should not need to be doing any of its own proxy handling as NTLM authentication is already working correctly in Eclipse itself.

Please see wiki page [1] for details on JIRA proxy configuration. We are planning to align it with other connectors soon.
Can you please confirm if that help with your issue, and also if other connectors (i.e. Generic Web Repository Connector or Bugzilla) work trough your proxy? Thanks

I added this to the known limitations: http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Mylar_FAQ#Known_limitations

Marking "helpwanted" since the JIRA Connector is currently supported by community contributions.

Proxy support has been improved as part of bug 166468. Resolving this report should now be possible provided that your NTLM version is supported by HttpClient:

 http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/authentication.html#NTLM

Rob, do you what the state of supporting NTLM through WebClientUtil is?

NTLM support for Proxy authentication

This adds support for NTLM if the username contains a backslash: domain\user. Rob, please review.

Great. Patch reviewed and applied. Unfortunately I do not have NTLM authenticated proxy to verify against.

Me neither. I'll post to the news group when we have a 3.2 dev build (end of this week) and ask for testers.
