HTTP Proxy w/User Auth - Java Automatic Updates

Some of our clients have java installed... when it looks for updates, it's locking out user accounts (there's no place in the java control panel to have it remember username/password info).

Any ideas on a workaround besides disabling auto update?

If I could add host(s) *.java.com and *.verisign.com and *.sun.com I could have them bypass the proxy... I don't know how to do that. Is it possible?

The automatic updater apparently uses TONS of hostnames (looking at what it's doing via ethereal). I gave up after entering about 20 when it seemingly randomly asks for new hostnames each update. (sdl3g.sun.com, sdl2h.sun,com, etc.)

Easier to just stop the java update scheduler from running @ startup on a machine by machine basis.

Thanks

Hello!

If I could add host(s) *.java.com and *.verisign.com and *.sun.com I could have them bypass the proxy... I don't know how to do that. Is it possible?

You could add Domains under Proxies -> HTTP -> Content Filter -> Skip authentication for domains.
There you could add for example "sun.com" and so there is no authentication for sdl3g.sun.com, sdl2h.sun.com, etc.

Hope this works for you!
