If a Marketplace app activation key is acquired via OrderId, the Liferay bundle will try to validate the key by accessing www.liferay.com.

This is an issue if the server requires a forward proxy to access the Internet. The Java proxy properties that would be put in JAVA_OPTS or system-ext.properties are not currently functional.

Resolution

What's needed in this case are activation key proxy properties with values that correspond to the server in question:

  • license.proxy.password
  • license.proxy.port
  • license.proxy.url
  • license.proxy.username

The properties are available for use in the portal-ext.properties file. They make it possible to activate a Marketplace app on a Liferay server that is behind a forward proxy.

Additional Information

A workaround to this is to use a activation key .xml file, which does not validate against liferay.com.
