  ****************************************************************
  RSA 7.x Clients are unable to talk to the License Server
  when hte Client machine is configured to use a HTTP Proxy
  Server for communication. The root cause is the use of Java
  Clinet libraries of FLEX by RSA. The FLEX Java does not
  support HTTP Proxy Server communication.
  

Problem conclusion

• Once the RSA Clients start using 8.1.1.x RCL Java Client
  libraries, the issue will no longer exist. The RCL Java
  Client Libraries use native RCL C Client Libraries for
  Licensiing operations. RCL C clients talk to the RLKS 8.1.x
  using TCP/IP protocol. They will ignore HTTP Proxy settings
  and hence will be able to contact the server successfully.
