BI Publisher Microsoft Office AddIn Proxy Configuration

Hi team,

I can't log on to the Oracle BI Publisher using the Word/Excel Office Add In.

The reason is that there are 2 proxies and the one route works but the other does not work.
Is there any way to configure the Office Addin to use a specific proxy ?
I tried to update the Java Option using the -Dhttp.proxyHost and -DhttpProxyPort but these flags are for the server and not for the AddIn

Any help ?

Many Thanks

  • Hi @Tom_Chav

    Server end you need to configure the parameters - setDomainEnv file.

    Example -

    EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES="-Dhttp.proxyHost=www-proxy.example.com -Dhttp.proxyPort=80 -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=localhost|*.mycompany.com|*.mycorporation.com|*.otherhost.com ${EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES}"
    export EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES
    

    Try to set these parameters are your local JAVA and see are you able to fix your issue? -Dhttp.proxyHost & -Dhttp.proxyPort ( you can set these parameters client system means where your desktop software has been installed )

  • Hi Arjun,

    Thank you for your response.

    I have already tried to set up the Params on the Desktop side and it does not work.

    Hi Arjun,

    Except the issue with the Proxy, there was also an issue with the TLS 1.0.

    More info:

  • Hi @Tom_Chav

    I hope you need to use the TLS1.2 not TLS 1.0 as its no longer using.
