Downloaded and unpacked Websphere Liberty Profile wlp-javaee7-8.5.5.9.zip. I am behind a firewall and I was trying to install the adminCenter, but got the error:

CWWKF1219E: The IBM WebSphere Liberty Repository cannot be reached. Verify that your computer has network access and firewalls are configured correctly, then try the action again. If the connection still fails, the repository server might be temporarily unavailable.

To solve this I used information from http://viralpatel.net/blogs/http-proxy-setting-java-setting-proxy-java/.

Is there a better method to configure the access of various IBM utils to external repositories?

You can also set http proxy settings for installUtility by putting

proxyHost=my.proxy.server.ibm.com
proxyPort=9080
proxyUser=myname
proxyPassword={aes}AH5NLyd7DfGb12pK17Pw+

in your ${wlp.install.dir}/etc/repositories.properties as described in the Knowledge Center

Note that the password should be encoded with securityUtility
