Eclipse: unable to change proxy authentication information for Luna on OSX

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.

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 -

  • Open Network Connection Settings.
  • Select Active Provider to "Manual".
  • Set HTTP/HTTPS proxy.

Restart Eclipse to apply these settings.

Your problem should now be solved.
