[IDV #FNT-602075]: Accessing Catalogs Through a Proxy Server that Requires Authentication

Michael,

Via Google, we found an old message concerning this issue. Have you tried this:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/support/help/MailArchives/idv/msg00493.html

You will have to edit your runIDV(.bat) script.

It is curious that your security configuration *will* allow communication to 
ADDE
(via port 112).

Best,

Unidata IDV Support

> My company requires internet access (port 8080) to go through a proxy
> server.  This proxy server requires authentication (userid and password.
> I can run IDV and get to Point Raob, and Images data via adde.ucar.edu.
> However I cannot connect to Catalogs.  When I try I get the following

> Error:  Could not load

> When I'm at home on the same system going through my home network (not
> through a proxy) everything works fine.  I'm pretty sure the issue
> is the proxy server.  Any assistance you can provide would be greatly
> appreciated.  I would have sent this request via help on IDV itself but
> that connection doesn't work either.
