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

Provide steps that the user can take to solve the problem. For example "The level 7 printer will flash red when it is out of paper. Add paper to tray 1".

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.
