SonarQube Proxy Configuration, Tricky

Question

I cannot get the proxy configuration to work for SonarQube 4.0 so that I can install plugins.

When i open http://localhost:9000/updatecenter/available it displays the error: "Not connected to update center. Please check your internet connection and logs."

In sonar.log I read: "org.sonar.api.utils.HttpDownloader$HttpException: Fail to download [http://update.sonarsource.org/update-center.properties]. Response code: 403"

In sonar.properties I configured it with the same proxy which I use for other programs:

sonar.updatecenter.activate=true
http.proxyHost=<host>
http.proxyPort=<port>
http.proxyUser=<username>
http.proxyPassword=<password>

I tried the same to configure in wrapper.properties, but it didn't work either by the way.

For the proxy host I tried the short and the full name. For the username I tried just the username and with <DOMAINNAME>\<username> and <DOMAINNAME>\\<username>.

Nothing of it worked. Any ideas?

Answer 1

My proxy configuration works and looks the following way:

http.proxyHost=proxy.domain.de
http.proxyPort=8888

Note that there is no "http://" or anything else before the URL.

Also, I do not use proxy authentication, so I left "proxyUser" and "proxyPassword" commented out.
