Fixing Cross Domain issue in WebSphere Portal with Connections

Environment - Integrated WebSphere Portal 8X with Connections 4.5 with SSO established.

Issue - Unable to retreive Connections Feed in Portlet without passing credentials.

Solution - To Resolve cross domain issue we have to update proxy-config.xml file and restart the server.

Process - Goto,

D:\IBM\WebSphere\wp_profile\config\cells\TIT-JAVA-010Cell\applications\AJAX Proxy Configuration.ear\deployments\AJAX Proxy Configuration\wp.proxy.config.war\WEB-INF\proxy-config.xml

    1. Take backup of proxy-config.xml
    2. Update the proxy-config.xml by adding below lines after <mapping ;
            <policy url="*" acf="none">
                <actions>
                    <method>GET</method>
                </actions>
            </policy>
    3. Update the proxy-config.xml by adding below lines for <policy url="{$ibm_connections_policy}" acf="none" basic-auth-support="true">
            <users>
                <user>AllAuthenticatedUsers</user>           
            </users>
    4. For my testing I also updated Connections Proxy-config.xml at location IBM/WebSphere/proxy-config.xml
   
    5. Restart the server.
   
    6. Next, call below url in portlet to retrive feed without using credentials;
            http://<hostname>:<port>/wps/proxy/http/conserver.com/path/on/server/somefile.xml
