Spring Tool Suite proxy authentication

java 6.0.45

STS Version: 3.4.0.RELEASE

STS Build Id: 201310051614

Windows 7

I just downloaded the latest Spring Source Toolsuite, I'm behind a proxy so I'm trying to configure the proxy authentication under preferences. I hit apply & ok, try to access the internet via File -> New -> Spring Starter Project I get a 407 error. When I go back to the proxy preferences the user/password is empty.

Does anybody know how to configure proxy settings? Somwehere in the .metadata directory somewhere maybe?

  • Kepler had same issue:

    After I changed my password in secure storage under preferences-> Security -> Secure Storage, It finally let me store my username and password.

    I somehow believe it has to do with corporate security desktop integration.
