Proxy Authentication - Cannot login as multiple users

Hello there,

I have a class that open connections to URLs through a proxy. The proxy requires authentication, using NTLM protocol.

I need to connect to one URL with a specific username and password, and then to another URL with another username/password combination.

I tried using the java.net.Authenticator class, but found out that there is no option to change the credentials when using it. Meaning that if I sent correct username and password, all the next connections will use these credentials, and ignore the other credentials I supply.

Then I tried using the "Authorization" request property, like that:

Code:

---

String userPassword = username + ":" + password;
String encoding = new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder().encode(userPassword.getBytes());
               
urlConnection.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic " + encoding);

---

This also does not solve the problem. :(

I test it like that: I send wrong credentials, and get 407 response code. Then I send correct credentials and get 200 response code. Then I send wrong credentials again, and I get 200.

I follow redirections and I see that for every URL the proxy requests for username and password, so this is not a proxy problem.

How can it be that the correct username and password are "remembered"?

Thanks,
Dikla

The solution is to set the request property Proxy-Authorization and not Authorization...
