Eclipse: Unable to change proxy authentication information for Luna on OSX

Question

I am trying to update the network proxy settings on Luna, but they do not accept. I used the manual option and entered the auth information. When I close the window, there are no settings there. How can I fix this problem?

This is Eclipse Luna for Mac, OSX Yosemite.

Here is the error

java.lang.SecurityException: Failed to get password. Result: -25300 on org.eclipse.equinox.internal.security.osx.OSXProvider.getPassword (native Method) with org.eclipse.equinox.internal.security.osx.OSXProvider.getPassword (OSXProvider.java:45) in org. eclipse.equinox.internal.security.storage.PasswordProviderModuleExt.getPassword (PasswordProviderModuleExt.java:35) in org.eclipse.equinox.internal.security.storage.SecurePreferencesRoot.getModulePassword (SecurePreferencesRoot.seava.quava.oxavaqul internal.security.storage.SecurePreferencesRoot.getPassword (SecurePreferencesRoot.java:224) in org.eclipse.equinox.internal.security.storage.SecurePreferences.put (SecurePreferences.java:224) in org.eclipse.equinox.internal.security. storage.SecurePreferencesWrapper.put (SecurePreferencesWrapper.java:110) in org.eclipse.core.internal.net.ProxyType.saveProxyAuth (ProxyType.java∗50) in org.eclipse.core.internal.net.ProxyType.setProxyData (ProxyType. java: 154)

Have I considered the option of "clearing passwords" in a secure vault? I have never done this before.

Answer 1

First try cleaning SOCKS from Eclipse . Do it as follows -
Window-> Settings → General → Network Connection.

Now remove the proxy proxy and clear the SOCKS IP.

NOTE. - This will work if you have a proxy server.

Now go on to configure Active Provider in Manual . Do it with

• Open the network connection settings.
• Select Active Provider for "Manual".
• Install HTTP / HTTPS proxy.

Reboot Eclipse to apply these settings.

Your problem should now be resolved.
