Hi all,

This isn't really a question as much as something that I found interesting.  At work, I am behind a corporate proxy, so I had to put my proxy settings in my -Dhttp.proxyHost, -Dhttp.proxyPort, etc.  I was also using a custom port (8090) instead of 8080.  Unfortunately, when I tried to login, I was receiving this error in the log:

2013-08-23 11:35:52,702  INFO  [webscripts.connector.RemoteClient] [http-apr-8090-exec-9] Error status 503 Connection refused: connect
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect

The proxy information was correct.  It turned out that all requests were then trying to go through the proxy server, which obviously had no idea what localhost was.  So, I had to update share-config-custom.xml with the following (replace myServer) and the custom port:

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Remote">
      <remote>
         <endpoint>
            <id>alfresco-noauth</id>
            <name>Alfresco - unauthenticated access</name>
            <description>Access to Alfresco Repository WebScripts that do not require authentication</description>
            <connector-id>alfresco</connector-id>
            <endpoint-url>http://<myServer-with full domain name>:8090/alfresco/s</endpoint-url>
            <identity>none</identity>
         </endpoint>

         <endpoint>
            <id>alfresco</id>
            <name>Alfresco - user access</name>
            <description>Access to Alfresco Repository WebScripts that require user authentication</description>
            <connector-id>alfresco</connector-id>
            <endpoint-url>http://<myServer-with full domain name>:8090/alfresco/s</endpoint-url>
            <identity>user</identity>
         </endpoint>

         <endpoint>
            <id>alfresco-feed</id>
            <name>Alfresco Feed</name>
            <description>Alfresco Feed - supports basic HTTP authentication via the EndPointProxyServlet</description>
            <connector-id>http</connector-id>
            <endpoint-url>http://<myServer-with full domain name>:8090/alfresco/s</endpoint-url>
            <basic-auth>true</basic-auth>
            <identity>user</identity>
         </endpoint>
         
         <endpoint>
            <id>activiti-admin</id>
            <name>Activiti Admin UI - user access</name>
            <description>Access to Activiti Admin UI, that requires user authentication</description>
            <connector-id>activiti-admin-connector</connector-id>
            <endpoint-url>http://<myServer-with full domain name>:8090/alfresco/activiti-admin</endpoint-url>
            <identity>user</identity>
         </endpoint>
      </remote>
   </config>

And, I also had to make sure that the setting -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts included the domain of my local machine.  So, it had to be like this:

-Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=*.mydomain.com

I hope that helps someone else.  It took me a few hours to figure that one out.

Eric
