How to configure UPM to use proxy requiring authentication

[Sean Spalding]

I've set a proxy in <jira home/bin/setenv.sh thus:

JVM_SUPPORT_RECOMMENDED_ARGS=" -Dhttp.proxyHost=username:password@proxy.ourdomain.com -Dhttp.proxyPort=1234"

It's not working (as far as I can tell). The UPM shows "The Atlassian Plugin Exchange server is not reachable" and plugin searches return no results.

UPM will use the proxy settings of the host application.

See http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRAKB/Configure+Web+Proxy+Support+for+JIRA

So, given there's no mention of proxy authentication on that page can I safely assume that this mechanism cannnot do proxy authentication?

Confluence seems to have support for that - guess you can try same approach with Jira :)

Thanks, the arguments http.proxyUser= and http.proxyPassword= do work (for any JVM based app).

The JIRA doc needs to be updated.
