I see how to set the proxy host and proxy port in the forrest.properties file.

Is  it possible to set the proxy username and proxy password as well?

# Sets the proxy host and proxy port
proxy.host = proxyhost.proxydomain
proxy.port = 8080

# I would like to be able to include
proxy.username = myusername
proxy.password = myproxypassword

Does anyone know of a good work around or a solution?

There is currently no known workaround. The solution is to add relevant properties to the forrest.properties file and use them in them when connecting.

The required properties are:

proxypassword   
Set the password for the proxy. Used only if the proxyUser is set.      

proxyuser
Set the proxy user. Probably requires a password to accompany
this setting. Default=""

Another user reqested this a couple of weeks ago, but was not motivated enough to implement a solution. Cyriaque Dupoirieux promised to implement it, but has not, to date, found the time.

If you want to tackle it then take a look at the init-proxy target in FORREST_HOME/main/forrest.build.xml

That is where the existing proxy properties are used. If you are not familiar with ant then see the manual entry for the setproxy task used: http://ant.apache.org/manual/OptionalTasks/setproxy.html

If you don't have the time/inclination to tackle this please raise an issue on JIRA and add these comments for whoever comes to tackle this.
