License activation through proxy requiring authentication

I'm trying to activate a license of WCS through a proxy, however I'm seeing a 407 Proxy Authentication Required error since I have to get past a proxy that requires a username and password that changes daily.

I followed the directions here:
https://docs.flashphoner.com/displa...gHTTPproxyiftheactivationserverisnotavailable
And I also tried adding -Dhttp.proxyUser and -Dhttp.proxyPassword entries in wcs-core.properties but I still have the same 407 error when trying to activate the license via command line or web interface.

Is there a way I can supply the proxy username and password in order to activate the license through the proxy?

Hello.
Please clarify: do you use one of our proxies (proxy1 or proxy2) as described in docs, or some other proxy?
proxy1.flashphoner.com and proxy2.flashphoner.com does not require authentication.
But, if you use your own proxy, you should set up it as transparent with no authentication.

Some other proxy which I don't have control over. Traffic would have to go through this proxy first to get to proxy1 or proxy2. Thanks for the suggestion though, I'll try seeing if I can insert a transparent proxy in the middle to make the process transparent.
