JIRA server for user management in confluence - proxy problem

[Deleted user]

We have a JIRA and a confluence server in the same network, and we want to use the user management by the JIRA server for both of them.

However the connection test fails with:

Connection test failed. Response from the server:
org.apache.http.conn.ConnectTimeoutException: Connect to proxy.abg.fsc.net:81 [proxy.abg.fsc.net/172.25.139.4] failed: connect timed out

So Confluence is trying to reach JIRA via a proxy server, although there is a NO_PROXY configuration for .fsc.net.

(Confluence V6.0.1, JIRA 7.2.4)

Hi Jean

Both Confluence and Jira run in a Java Virtual Machine. They will not pick up your system environment variables like (NO_PROXY , HTTP_PROXY).

You have to set some java system properties in your setenv.sh file (or in the Windows Service config if you're using that)

Information on proxy properties

Where to set the properties

Thank you. I had defined the proxies in the setenv.sh, but not the noproxies.
