contents In a recent investigation, the initial value problem of light propagation in the gravitational field of a body at rest with monopole and quadrupole structure has been determined in the second post-Newtonian (2PN) approximation. In reality, the light source as well as the observer are located at finite distances from the solar system bodies. This fact requires solving the boundary value problem of light propagation. In this investigation, the solution of the boundary value problem is deduced from the initial value problem of light propagation in 2PN approximation. These results are a basic requirement for subsequent investigations aiming at ultra-highly precise tests of light deflection and time delay in the solar system.
