Authenticating to Socks proxy using different accounts in a given JVM

825328Dec 20 2010 — edited Jan 25 2011

I have a J2EE application that runs some background jobs. Each of these background jobs need to connect to an external FTP server. However, all connections must go through a central SOCKS proxy server. The SOCKS proxy server is set up to require authentication using user names and passwords. Everything works fine if I've to use this SOCKS proxy with "a set" of credentials across all background jobs. However, if I want Job1 to use "user1" for SOCKS login, and Job2 to use "user2" for SOCKS login, I can't seem to find a way to do this. I need this functionality for accounting purposes. Any help on how this can be accomplished is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Sai Pullabhotla
