Configuring LCDS HTTPProxy service behind a firewall

Question

I have an LCDS server sitting behind a corporate proxy/firewall.

I need to use a configured HTTPProxyService on the LCDS server to make requests out to beyond the firewall (can't go directly from the client because of crossdomain.xml issues)

How do I configure LCDS to use the corporate proxy on it's outbound requests?

Use the <external-proxy /> tag.

Answer 2

LCDS is using Apache HTTP client in order to establish a connection through an external proxy. All the parameters from the tag are going to be used in order to initialize an org.apache.commons.httpclient.UsernamePasswordCredentials instance (or NTCredentials).

I think that first it's easier if you build a standalone java application using HTTP client to use your corporate proxy (easier from a testing point of view), and after you succeed to find all the settings you can add them into proxy-service.xml (I can help you with that).
