Using Protege Desktop in a Corporate Firewalled Environment (Proxy Issues) #967

Hi Protege team,

This is somewhat related to previous issue that I logged about deploying Protege Desktop on a corporate environment: https://github.com/protegeproject/protege/issues/878

I am not sure if this problem is unique to FIBO or Protege, but I am working with a Canadian banking corporation that wishes to examine FIBO through various tools, such as Protege Desktop, Stardog, and other tools listed online (http://owl.cs.manchester.ac.uk/tools/list-of-reasoners/ and https://www.uni-ulm.de/en/in/ki/research/software/).

However, the corporation has a firewall in place and prevents Protege from loading imported terminology from OMG and W3: Protege constantly prompts me to 'resolve' the imports when trying to load FIDO PROD and DEV. This occurs regardless of whether I am using the FIBO quick start files, or the downloaded zip file of the ontology.

I have tried setting the Java proxy settings in the Protege launcher per these discussions (https://github.com/protegeproject/protege/issues/530) but the result is the same: Protege Desktop is unable to resolve the imports and prompts me to do so manually.

The proxy information I was given from the company is that usually their proxies are configured as such: http: http://user:password@oproxy.domain.com:8080 https: https://user:password@oproxy.domain.com:8080

Is Protege equipped to handle HTTP and HTTPS user authentication via proxy?

I configured run.bat with the following Java flags: -Dhttps.proxyHost=oproxy.domain.com -Dhttps.proxyPort=8080 -Dhttps.proxyUser=username -Dhttps.proxyPassword=password

But this does not help. An example import from FIBO that fails inside the firewall even if I try loading via URL: https://www.omg.org/spec/LCC/Languages/LanguageRepresentation/

Have you come across any other corporate Protege users with this issue? For context, I am using a corporate laptop when using Protege Desktop on Windows.

I've also logged this error with the FIBO team to see if they can also provide any additional input: https://github.com/edmcouncil/fibo/issues/1094

Thanks for your help,

Carmen
