RSS portlets (News, Weather) must allow proxy and HTTP authentication settings to be configured at runtime ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBPORTAL-1857 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPORTAL-1857 Project: JBoss Portal Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Affects Versions: 2.6.3 Final Environment: Debian, JBoss 4.2.1.GA Reporter: dpocock The following parameters need to be configurable for the news and weather portlets: - HTTP username for the RSS server - HTTP password for the RSS server - HTTP proxy hostname - HTTP proxy port number - HTTP proxy username - HTTP proxy password It should be possible to define these settings differently for every portlet instance in the portal. A workaround exists for using a proxy, but it causes the same proxy settings to be used for all portlets. The workaround: add the following to the JAVA_OPTS in $JBOSS_HOME/bin/run.conf: -Dhttp.proxyHost=192.168.1.1 -Dhttp.proxyPort=3128 -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=192.168.1|localhost There are more proxy options (HTTPS, FTP, etc) describe here: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/net/proxies.html -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
