Ubuntu – How configure Java applet to work behind proxy

javaPROXY

I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 and have installed sun-java6-* packages.

My workstation is running behind an authenticated proxy, I've set the gnome proxy settings system wide and almost everything works fine, except for the Java applets that ask me for the proxy password but doesn't work when I type in.

Any ideas about how to make it work?

I know this is an old post, but perhaps explicitly changing the setting in the Java control panel might help:

Open the Java Control Panel by running the command javaws -viewer
In Control Panel: General > Network Settings

Then try changing proxy settings.

As of the version 3 of the Ubuntu One client (currently in 12.04, soon to be released for Windows and backported to older Ubuntu versions), connecting through a proxy should work in most situations. In Ubuntu you need to ensure ubuntuone-client-proxy is installed (it isn’t installed by default), and proxy settings should be picked up automatically.

Ubuntu – Can’t complete dropbox installation from behind proxy

sudo https_proxy="https://username:password@your_proxy:proxy_port" dropbox start -i

You have to run the deamon as root, and thus, you have to configure the proxy as root. Setting the httpS_proxy root env variable on invocation should be enough.
