Environment

ITMS 8.x

Cause

Wireshark trace showed that the HTTP request to the product listing file was blocked by the Proxy server.

Resolution

Proxy server settings were changed to all HTTP requests to allow www.solutionsam.com to resolve the issue. Solutionsam.com hosts the product listing, production installation files and patch management metadata.
