To Use updatetool in a Proxy That Requires Authentication

This is a workaround to install Web Space Server from behind a proxy, when you are updating from a early version of Web Space Server. Sun GlassFish Web Space Server 10.0 Update 5 and later versions of Web Space Server are bundled with Update Center 2.2 which supports proxy authentication, and this workaround is not required.

1. Download Update Center 2.2 suitable for your platform from Update Center Wiki.

2. Unzip the Update Center 2.2 to a temporary directory (i.e. /tmp/uc2.2)

3. Copy the files pkg-bootstrap.jar and pkg-client.jar from /tmp/uc2.2/pkg-toolkit-sunos-i386/pkg/lib to <webspace_dir>/webspace-for-gfv2/pkg/lib.

4. Navigate to <webspace_dir>/webspace-for-gfv2/bin, and run updatetool.

   You are prompted to type the proxy info and proxy port.

5. Type the proxy info and proxy port information.

   The latest version of the updatetool and pkg files is downloaded.

6. Run updatetool again to download Web Space Server packages.
