behind a firewall: How to set up proxy authentication user password?

[fp <Fr...@impaqgroup.com>]

I'm working with Geronimo behind a firewall and wanted to remote install a
plugin or jdbc-driver from the internet.
The JAVA_OPTS=-DproxySet=true -DproxyHost=IP-Adr -DproxyPort=8080 works only
without user/ password authentication

Wow. Been a while since I had to deal with a proxy. IIRC, you can't  
specify username password via java system properties (you'd have done  
that already, of course... ;-). It's something we'd need to support  
from within Geronimo. It's all possible, but not something that I  
recall anybody working on...

First step is to create a Jira -- https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO

Next step is to either start trying to implement the feature :-) or  
convince somebody else to work on it. We'd be happy to provide some  
guidance on how to implement...
