Hi Paul, Sorry, MQIPT doesn't support proxy authentication. I think you're only the second person to ask for this feature. All I can say is that it's on the requirements list for the next release of MQIPT.... if and when there is one. Sorry I can't be more exact.

As you've probably already guessed - it's not working. My HTTP proxy requires basic authentication. Here is the result from the trace: Time: 09:49:48.711 2003.09.02 Class: com.ibm.mq.ipt.ConnectionThread Method: getHTTPHeader Thread ID: ConnThd for Route 62000-0 Logger: TraceLogger 62000 HTTP/1.1 407 Proxy authentication required Proxy-Authenticate: NTLM Proxy-Authenticate: Basic realm="172.30.60.2" Content-Length: 503 Content-Type: text/html Time: 09:49:48.711 2003.09.02 Class: com.ibm.mq.ipt.ConnectionThread Method: createHTTPConnection Thread ID: ConnThd for Route 62000-0 Logger: TraceLogger 62000 MQCPE058 CONNECT request to myhost.mydomain.com(80) through ewprxy2(8080) failed Anyone know if it is possible to pass a userid/password to the HTTP proxy? By the way, the actual setup is: MQ Client -> Local MQIPT -> HTTP Proxy -> (firewall) -> Apache HTTP Server -> MQIPT -> Target QMgr Cheers, Paul Instructions for managing your mailing list subscription are provided in the Listserv General Users Guide available at http://www.lsoft.com Archive: http://vm.akh-wien.ac.at/MQSeries.archive
