Ive searched the forums for this same problem to no avail. We have a reverse proxy server which requires authentication to log in. Once the user logs in, then they can run our webstart app. But when I run it, I get this error in webstart: Please pay attention to the "Caused by:" section of the WRAPPED EXCEPTION tab.

If you look at the wrapped exception, the server appears to be try ing to bounch Web Start back to the login screen. Thats what that https://rptest.ca.boeing.com:443/ReverseProxy/Authentication.html is. Its the login screen. But I have already logged in! It is as if I tried to launch this app without ever logging in. Is there any way to run a web start app after you have authenticated into a server? Please help if you can, I'm really in a bind.
Thanks,
Steve
