Environment

Novell BorderManager 3.9 Support Pack 2

Situation

The proxy.cfg file contains the following parameters:

[Proxy-Authorization]
UserName=xxxxx
Password=xxxxx
ProxyReAuthorization=1
AlwaysSendAuthorizationToCERNParent=1


BorderManager is configured to communicate to a CERN proxy which requires authorization.

Taking a lantrace on the BorderManager server shows that the server sends the requests to the CERN proxy, but without the Proxy Auhthorization header. The CERN proxy sends a 407 Proxy Authentication required response, which BorderManager sends to the browser.

Resolution

It is fixed on  PROXY.NLM, version 5.13.02 and dated  15-dec-2009, included in bm39sp2_ir1 patch.
