Downloading IBM Business Process Manager V8.5.7 Cumulative Fix 2016.09

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Even when the HTTP import binding is configured to route the
  HTTP request to a proxy with basic authentication, the request
  fails with the following error:
  
  HTTP/1.1
  407 Proxy Authentication Required
  HTTP CONNECT request genereated by HTTP Import binding does not
  contain Proxy-authorization section
  Proxy-authorization: Basic ....
  

Local fix

• NA
  

Problem summary

• HTTP proxy authentication is not implemented in the HTTP binding
   of SCA import. As a result, the authentication fails when HTTP
  authentication enabled in proxy server even though
  authentication aliases are set up for the HTTP import binding
  configuration.

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.5.5.0 that adds support for
  HTTP and HTTPS proxy server authentication.
