Configuring the proxy is an adventure which I didn't find well documented. The key proxy configuration point is in the Java installation but it appears not to be the only configuration point. Consequently, after humming along downloading and installing Java files the process hit another snag. I haven't had the chance to chase down which tool and which configuration point needs to change. This is a show stopper. 2) OpenNMS requires Postgres. I have a SQL infrastructure and I am loath to install yet-another SQL server regardless of its wonderfulness, but I have installed it.
