How to run dataverse behind a corporate proxy

[Kheira Acem-Ghounem]

Hello, 

For security reasons, our servers are without direct internet connectivity and they must use a http proxy to access internet resources.

The problem, is when I click to the button addData to edit a dataset and test my account on Datacite but I cannot open the page and get a timeout : 

[2026-01-28T16:26:46.993+0100] [Payara 6.2025.10] [WARNING] [] [edu.harvard.iq.dataverse.pidproviders.doi.datacite.DataCiteRESTfullClient] [tid: _ThreadID=74 _ThreadName=http-thread-pool::http-listener-1(1)] [timeMillis: 1769614006993] [levelValue: 900] [[
  IOException during testDOIExists: Connect to mds.test.datacite.org:443 [mds.test.datacite.org/54.73.126.246, mds.test.datacite.org/54.229.19.254] failed: Connection timed out. Retrying in 10 seconds (attempt 1 of 5)]]

So, I tried to configure proxy settings with jvm options in the domain.xml file:

        <jvm-options>-Djava.http.proxyHost=proxy.domain.com</jvm-options>
        <jvm-options>-Djava.http.proxyPort=8080</jvm-options>
        <jvm-options>-Djava.https.proxyHost=proxy.domain.com</jvm-options>
        <jvm-options>-Djava.https.proxyPort=8080</jvm-options>
        <jvm-options>-Dhttp.proxyHost=proxy.domain.com</jvm-options>
        <jvm-options>-Dhttp.proxyPort=8080</jvm-options>
        <jvm-options>-Dhttps.proxyHost=proxy.domain.com</jvm-options>
        <jvm-options>-Dhttps.proxyPort=8080</jvm-options> 

I put it with or without java prefix to be sure, and not working at all.

So , I hope that someone here know this issue.

Thanks

Hello,

I never got the Payara proxy settings to work properly, either, but if you restrict egress you don’t want Payara able to call out globally using a proxy.

What’s restricting egress? Can that device or service allow Payara to call out to Datacite? If you’re running Shibboleth, Dataverse will also need to call back to itself using its public service name on its public interface.

I hope this helps,

Don

FWIW: If you’re running a Dataverse where the content isn’t available externally, you might want to consider using PermaLinks as identifiers. Unlike DataCite or any DOI/Handle there is no public PermaLink resolver so no nothing to call out to.
