Answer 1

Found a workaround for this issue.

Window > Preferences > Network Connections >

Select the Active Provider as Manual.

And in the proxy entries add the authentication for http and https schemas.

leave the SOCKS authentication as "NO". if you set already just clear it.

The SOCKS was kept YES and that's the reason its not connecting.

Thanks

The issue is still reproducing on STS 3.7.3.RELEASE.
