Even carbon authenticators take different type of credentials... and
this seems more like a proxy proxy configuration..
This is the configuration [1] already used for axis2.
<parameter name="PROXY"
proxy_host="proxy_host_name"
proxy_port="proxy_host_port"
locked="true>userName:domain:passWord</parameter>

IIUC in your scenario Carbon server is trying to access a resource
behind a proxy and you need to authenticate to the proxy.. Shouldn't
this the same at the axis2 client end.. but this doesn't have multiple
proxy support as you mentioned. In either case shouldn't this
something to be in axis2.xml..? [not in carbon.xml]
Thanks & regards,
