Remote portlets might not be displayed in the SAS^® Information Delivery Portal. When this happens, the following error appears in the portlet window.

This problem occurs when you use a forward proxy server with the SAS web applications and the Java Virtual Machine argument -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts is applied to the web application server configuration. This argument is typically used to specify internal hosts such as the web application server, for which the forward proxy should not be used.

Further evidence of the problemn is shown by the existence of requests for the URL context /SASJSR168RemotePortlet/ in the proxy server's log file.
