Oracle.portal.wcs.transport.http.HttpTransportException WCS-514 WebClipping

Question

Hi!,
I have Mid Tier installed on one of the Linux box and Infrastructure installed on a separate Linux box. Both of these boxes are behind firewall. I have successfully compeleted portal configuration for Reverse Proxy. I can access portal via internet. Users don't have to put port numbers (7777 or 7778) to access the portal. Users just enters http://www.abc.com, which takes them to portal builder page.
However, Both of my Web providers are not working. As described by the document to configure seeded provider. I changed to port in the URL from 80 to 777. http://www.abc.com:7777/portalTools/webClipping/providers/webClipping. I can access these two web provider applications from the internet, with both the ports 80 as well as 7777. I also edited the provider.xml to use proxy.
When I try to personalize web clipping portlet. and provide URL Location. It is giving me following error.
An exception has occurred : oracle.portal.wcs.transport.http.HttpTransportException WCS-514 -- Get status code 400 to URL http://www.xyz.com by method get
It seems to me I may be missing one of the configuration step, don't know which?
I appreciate your help in advance.
Thanks

Answer 1

I have a similar setup on Linux boxes (MT and Infra) and having the same problem. I can add external application, also able to register Web clipping provider successfully using the external application ID.
But when I try to clip the external application. It shows me on the page "User authentication failed. Please use the following link to update the information."
And, The application.log shows in addition to WCS-514 error code 404
Raising SOAP fault code: AuthenticationFailure
I get provider Test page without any error. http://xyz.abc.com:7778/portalTools/webClipping/providers/webClipping
Your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
