Use the Domino CLI behind a proxy

To configure the Domino CLI to use your proxy, you must modify files in the client installation directory:

On Mac, the directory is: /Applications/domino
On Windows, the directory is: C:\Users\<your_username>\AppData\Local\Programs\domino

In the root of the installation directory, there is a file named domino.vmoptions with some configuration options available. Add the line -include-options ~/.domino/domino.vmoptions at the end of the file for any *nix based system (Windows users MUST specify the appropriate path where domino.vmoptions is created):

-Ddomino.defaultHost=
-Dhttp.proxyHost=
-Dhttp.proxyPort=
-Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=
-Dhttps.proxyHost=
-Dhttps.proxyPort=
-Dhttps.nonProxyHosts=
-include-options ~/.domino/domino.vmoptions

You must create the user level configuration file domino.vmoptions in the appropriate location/folder. The folder ~/.domino/ may not exist, in which case you should run mkdir ~/.domino to create it. You must have a user level configuration file to ensure your settings are never modified if the CLI is reinstalled or updated. In the new ~/.domino/domino.vmoptions, assign your proxy’s port and host configuration:

-Dhttp.proxyHost=YOURPROXYHOST
-Dhttp.proxyPort=1234
-Dhttps.proxyHost=YOURPROXYHOST
-Dhttps.proxyPort=1234

Replace YOURPROXYHOST and 1234 with your actual proxy connection information.

Do not include http:// or https:// in the proxyHost parameters.

Proxy authentication with the Domino CLI

CLI supports Basic and NTLM proxy authentication. Add the following parameters to your ~/.domino/domino.vmoptions file for proxy authentication: Basic

# Make sure you have disabled the system proxy via this setting
-Djava.net.useSystemProxies=false
# This is required to enable basic authentication for Java versions >= Java 8u111
# More info here -> http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/8u111-relnotes-3124969.html
-Djdk.http.auth.tunneling.disabledSchemes=
# (https) Do not include quotes
-Dhttps.proxyUser=YOURPROXYUSER
# (https) Do not include quotes, even if your password contains spaces
-Dhttps.proxyPassword=YOURPROXYPASSWORD
# (http) Do not include quotes
-Dhttp.proxyUser=YOURPROXYUSER
# (http) Do not include quotes, even if your password contains spaces
-Dhttp.proxyPassword=YOURPROXYPASSWORD
# Make sure to leave a blank line at the end

NTLM

# This is an extension of Basic Proxy settings
# (http) Make sure to specify the NTLM domain for this Proxy
-Dhttp.auth.ntlm.domain=YOURNTLMDOMAIN
# (https) Make sure to specify the NTLM domain for this Proxy.
-Dhttps.auth.ntlm.domain=YOURNTLMDOMAIN
# Make sure to leave a blank line at the end

The proxy username is case-sensitive when using NTLM proxy authentication.
