Problem

From Java 8 Update 111 (8u111) onwards, the Basic authentication scheme has been deactivated, by default, in the Oracle Java Runtime.

If you are using Java 8 Update 111 (or later),  proxies requiring Basic authentication when setting up a tunnel for HTTPS will no longer succeed by default.

Solution

If required, this authentication scheme can be reactivated by removing Basic from the jdk.http.auth.tunneling.disabledSchemes networking property (set at $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/net.properties), or by setting a system property of the same name to "" ( empty ) on the command line.
