"Login Required" when trying to update Eclipse [message #489217] Thu, 01 October 2009 17:55 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
I am running Eclipse Galileo 3.5 and SR1.

Both versions update fine when I perform a software update or test connection via the preferences window.

Unfortunately, my coworker is prompted for a username and password when he does the update/test connection. He is prompted for every single site in the default list of locations.

I don't know why it works on my box but not his. We both authenticated the firewall and the Network Connection is set to "Direct"

Please provide any assistance.

Windows XP2

If you have done Test Connection on a site that definitely does not require authentication, then the login prompt is a red herring, and you should continue to explore other avenues of network disruption.

What happens if he tries to pull up one of those sites in a browser?

I hit the Galileo update link "http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo" using a web browser and it displayed the web page with the plugins just fine.

Anything in the Error Log view? Window-> Show View...

If I do a "Check For Updates" from the Help menu, it will prompt me for username/password for each of the listed locations.

In the Error Log View, it just displays the error message:

"Unable to load the repository http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo"
- "Authentication failed..."

This is repeated for each site. I had to cancel the login prompts which probably caused the authentication failures.

Is there a stack trace on either of those errors?

If you double click it in the error log view you would see it.

If I intentionally cancel login to an HTTPS site, I see an exception on the "Unable to load repository" error log entry.

Stacktrace might help track it down further..

Another thing you could do is download wget (http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/downlinks/wget.php) which is a command line utility to retrieve remote files.

Then try,

wget http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo/content.jar

To see if you get any HTTP errors.

If it's an easily repeatable scenario, you may want to open a bug.

RT -> Equinox -> p2.

I had to switch between Native and Direct connection in the preferences to overcome the error.

Switching to "Direct" under "Window->Preferences->General->Network Connection" worked for me as well.

This must be an issue with how your network is configured. Are you behind a proxy that requires authentication? The repository itself definitely does not require authentication. And of course Galileo is extremely old, so even if there is a bug in p2's Galileo version it would be fixed only in a new release, i.e., one from here:

You're going to have to elaborate on that.
