Question

Hi,
I am trying to access website using SSL and running JAVA code from inside Oracle 10g DB server using SSL and Java. I have loaded my java code into Oracle data base. My problem is when I am running same code from outside the DB it is running perfectly fine but when the same code is loaded into DB and trying to run from DB under these environment I am using for running my code:-
JDK 1.4.2_06
JSSE 1.4
Database :- Oracke 10G
I am getting following Exception:-
CALL testssl_http_mar20_New();
java.io.IOException: Unable to tunnel through 123.456.789.123:80. Proxy returns "HTTP/1.1 407 Proxy Authentication Required ( The ISA Server requires authorization to fulfill the request. Access to the Web Proxy service is denied.)

Thanks a lot in advance.

Answer 1

0- the fact the ISA server logs an 'anonymous' seems logical, since it answers by HTTP 407. I will say it's even a "good log" :) but I had preferred a good old "security exception" but it's not the case..
1- The code for checking the properties (your debugging) should be placed BEFORE trying to connect to the url if you want to see what's happening
2- The 'normal' way to set the proxy is to set the following properties
System.setProperty("http.proxySet","true"); // and NOT https.proxyset as ejp said
System.setProperty("http.proxyHost","123.456.789.123");
System.setProperty("http.proxyPort","80");
3- what's the behavior if you change 123.456.789.123 by the real name (hostname) of the server ?
4- You can try setting up the proxy in the java control panel instead of in your code (easy to do under Windows, you look for the networking settings, and you find the proxy settings for http/https there. Otherwise look for all files called net.properties and edit them).
5- to help debbuging, we can rely on several methods of Authenticator :
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
System.err.println(".\tgetRequestingHost: " + getRequestingHost());
System.err.println("..\tgetRequestingSite: " + getRequestingSite());
System.err.println("...\tgetRequestingPort: " + getRequestingPort());
System.err.println("....\tgetRequestingProtocol: " + getRequestingProtocol());
System.err.println(".....\tgetRequestingPrompt: " + getRequestingPrompt());
System.err.println("......\tgetRequestingScheme: " + getRequestingScheme());
return new PasswordAuthentication("<USERNAME>",new String("<USER_PASSWORD>").toCharArray());
Try all this and let us see the output messages.
Please remember to give some 'duke stars' if it helped resolving the problem ;)
