Apache CXF SSL through proxy

I am connecting to an external soap endpoint using Apache CXF. I am going through a proxy server (using credentials) before I hit the https/SSL external endpoint. The team that supports the external web service is saying that they do not see my basic authentication header. I logged the header and payload from my workstation before just before it leaves my workstation. I can see both the basic authentication and the proxy authentication headers.

My question is really twofold: 1. At what point is the SSL message from my computer actually encrypted? 2. Is it possible for something in the network to be dropping the Basic authorization header? 3. What additional troubleshooting steps can I take?

Solution

  • I found the issue, my proxy server was dropping any header with the word Basic in it.
