Proxy authentication error when updating a product

Troubleshooting


Problem

Proxy authentication error occurs when updating a product from the internet using the IBM Installation Manager.

Symptom

You may also see timeout errors in the installation log files.

Resolving The Problem


WORKAROUNDS:

  1. Perform a local update by-passing the internet.

  2. Attempt to increase the low level network time-outs. These time-outs default to 30 seconds.
    This can be changed by adding the following lines to the file 'com.ibm.cic.agent.core.prefs' which is typically located in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\IBM\Installation Manager\.settings\

    com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.connectTimeout=3600
    com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.readTimeout=3600

    Note: The values above will set the timeout to 3600 seconds.

    The values take effect after restarting Installation Manager.
    Note: These values do not affect the Packaging Utility.
