I am trying to update my network proxy settings on Luna but they are not taking . I used the manual option and enter auth information. When I close the window, the settings are not there. How can I correct this issue?
This is Eclipse Luna for Mac, OSX Yosemite.
Here is the error
java.lang.SecurityException: Could not obtain password. Result: -25300 at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.security.osx.OSXProvider.getPassword(Native Method) at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.security.osx.OSXProvider.getPassword(OSXProvider.java:45) at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.security.storage.PasswordProviderModuleExt.getPassword(PasswordProviderModuleExt.java:35) at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.security.storage.SecurePreferencesRoot.getModulePassword(SecurePreferencesRoot.java:259) at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.security.storage.SecurePreferencesRoot.getPassword(SecurePreferencesRoot.java:224) at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.security.storage.SecurePreferences.put(SecurePreferences.java:224) at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.security.storage.SecurePreferencesWrapper.put(SecurePreferencesWrapper.java:110) at org.eclipse.core.internal.net.ProxyType.saveProxyAuth(ProxyType.java:550) at org.eclipse.core.internal.net.ProxyType.setProxyData(ProxyType.java:154)
I was considering 'clearing the passwords' in secure storage? I have never done this before.
The problem displayed is " HTTP Proxy Authentication Required ". The problem was because my computer was behind a proxy server. In my case, the Eclipse was configured to use the native proxy settings (configuredat the operating system level).
If your computer is behind a proxy server, most company do, Eclipse will keep hanging and take very long time to process and failed at the end. You have to configure the proxy settings in Eclipse in order to pass through it. 1) In Eclipse IDE, select “Window –> Preferences” 2) Preferences box prompt out, choose “Network Connections”.
Use the Proxies pane of Network preferences on your Mac to manage internet proxy services. To change these preferences on your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Network , select a network service in the list on the left, click Advanced, then click Proxies.
1) In Eclipse IDE, select “Window –> Preferences” 2) Preferences box prompt out, choose “Network Connections”. 3) Select “Manual” from Action Provider drop down list 4) Select Http in the List and click “Edit” button
You should first try cleaning SOCKS
from Eclipse
. Do that by the following -
Window-> Preferences -> General -> Network Connection.
Now remove the proxy bypass and clear SOCKS IP.
NOTE:- This will work if your have proxy server.
Now go ahead and set your Active Provider
to Manual
mode. Do this by -
Restart Eclipse
to apply these settings.
Your problem should now be solved.
