Proxy authentication not working

Hello,

I have to traverse a HTTP proxy to reach a webservice. This doesn't work in version 3.5.1 but it is working with 3.6 beta 2. Well, sort of: authentication do not work.

I'm using WireShark to spy on the communication between soapUI and the proxy. I see soapUI sending the HTTP request "CONNECT" to the proxy and the proxy replying with a 407 message saying "Proxy authentication required" and asking NTLM method. soapUI don't do anything then. It shows the webservice access as failed with message "SOAp Response - FAILED -> null/empty response". In the right pane, display header tab show the reply from the proxy "HTTP/1.1 407 Proxy Authentication Required".

If it matters, the webservice URL is an https on port 4443. This URL is perfectly working using IE thru the same proxy on the same workstation.

Of course, I have set proxy credential in both global soapUI preferences and in the "aut" tab for the test step. Neither is working.

Please help.
  • Hi!

    hmm.. have you set the "Authenticate preemptively" option in the global http settings?

    With or without, this doesn't change anything.

    Thanks.
