How to access Microsoft Graph Java API from Java application behind a proxy server?

Question

I am using MS graph Java sdk in order to access O365 ODFB drives from my java application. When I am by-passing the enterprise proxy server(connected to open internet) then I am able to get desired response from the APIs. But when I am connecting via proxy server, I am getting the following exception:

SEVERE: Throwable detail: com.microsoft.graph.core.ClientException: Error during http request

    at com.microsoft.graph.http.DefaultHttpProvider.sendRequestInternal(DefaultHttpProvider.java:297)

The code that I am using to connect Graph API is as follows:

// Get an access token for the client
    Authenticator authenticator = new Authenticator();
    IAuthenticationProvider authenticationProvider = authenticator.getAuthenticationProvider();

    graphClient = GraphServiceClient
            .builder()
            .authenticationProvider(authenticationProvider)
            .buildClient();

    graphClient.getLogger().setLoggingLevel(LoggerLevel.DEBUG);

Getting error at this line:

DriveItem item = graphClient.users().byId("userPrincipalName")
        .drive()
        .root()
        .children()
        .buildRequest()
        .get()
        .getCurrentPage()
        .get(0);

I am able to get the bearer token by passing the proxy configuration to the HttpURLConnection.openConnection(proxy) method inside Authenticator class.

e.g.:

Proxy proxy = new Proxy(Proxy.Type.HTTP, new InetSocketAddress("myproxyaddress", 80));
@SuppressWarnings("restriction")
String encoded = new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder().encodeBuffer(("username:password").getBytes()).replace("\r\n", "");
URL url = new URL(tokenEndpoint);
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection(proxy);
conn.setRequestProperty("Proxy-Authorization", "Basic " + encoded);

Am I missing out anything? Please help.

It looks like you might be missing some configuration while connecting through proxy. Refer to below link for exhaustive details while connecting through proxy.

Connect through a Proxy using Java

You can also try using default network settings to connect through through proxy instead of specifying explicitly using

System.setProperty("java.net.useSystemProxies", "true");
