206545 - JRE needs proxy - authentification

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 60304

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect)

Description

[Peter Lustig]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030516 Mozilla Firebird/0.6

We use Squid 2.4.6 Stable with smb_auth on Debian Woody as our proxy. The
Clients  run Windows 9x to 2k. While using IE with its own JVM you authenticate
to the proxy and alle the Java stuff works.
While using Mozilla or Phoenix with the SUN JVM 1.4.1 you authenticate to the
proxy. If you hit a site with Java applets, you need to authenticate a 2nd time
for the JVM. After this you can go to any site containing applets without having
to authenticate again. It is only a small issue but i guess our users won't
understand why they have to authenticate twice. ;-)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Works only if proxy with smb_auth is used
1. Start Mozilla
2. Enter a URL, authenticate to the proxy
3. hit a site containing Java applets
4. authenticate a 2nd time for the JVM


Expected Results:  
Should only ask once for authentication.

i'm pretty sure we fixed this problem for Basic auth, and i'm not sure the java
plugin understands SMB (NTLM) auth.  

peter: can you please generate a log file using the steps described here:

  http://mozilla.org/projects/netlib/http/http-debugging.html

and then either attach the generated log file to this bug report or email it
directly to me.  thanks!

probably a duplicate of bug 60304 since the new JRE that fixes this bug hasn't
been release yet (i think).

If i understood  bug 60304  right the the failure is caused by the JRE which
does not request the proxy authentification data from the browser ? So i guess i
have to wait for a new version of the JRE and try it again.

peter: that is correct.
