Error description
Just like HTTP proxy which has user name and password JNDI entries, create 2 separate JNDI entries for the SOCKS 5 Proxy to help with th cases where the MobileFirst server is behind the SOCKS 5 Proxy enabled for authentication
Local fix
Use HTTP Proxy instead
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * Worklight Developers sending push notification via APNS with * * secured proxy server * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * If the mobilefirst server is behind an authentication * * enabled proxy server (SOCKS), proxy credentials are * * required. SOCKS5 authentication expects username and * * password to authenticate with the proxy server. Push * * messages via APNS can only be sent by specifying the SOCKS * * proxy server credentials. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * * - * ****************************************************************
Problem conclusion
The SOCKS5 Authentication for APNS was missing. Code changes include adding proxy server credentials in worklight properties and SOCKS authentication feature for APNS. The APNS Connection will now include authentication if proxy server SOCKS is specified.
Temporary fix
