Updating the ERR_SCC_EXPIRED_PASSWORD file in this manner will<br />

cause a link to appear within the user’s browser when their password<br />

expires. The link provides a shortcut to the Password Change Request<br />

Form. If needed you can further customize this file to provide additional<br />

instructions to your users.<br />

a From the Services Configuration > Servers and then select the<br />

WebProxy from the list <strong>of</strong> server names.<br />

Using standard password authentication, you can authenticate trusted and<br />

Internet users who request SOCKS5, FTP, and Telnet access via proxies, and<br />

you can authenticate trusted users who access the Web via the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong><br />

Web proxy server. As an administrator, you should inform those users how<br />

they can change their own password from their terminal or workstation by<br />

using a Web browser. However, there are some restrictions:<br />

• User can only change their own password if using standard password,<br />

SafeWord PremierAccess, or LDAP authentication.<br />

• To allow users to change their log in passwords, you must first configure the<br />

<strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> to allow this. See “Allowing users to change their<br />

passwords” on page 306.<br />

1 Start a Web browser.<br />

2 Configure your browser not to proxy requests going to the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong><br />

on port 1999. For example, if you are using a Netscape browser do the<br />

following:<br />

a Open Netscape and select Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Proxies.<br />

b Select Manual Proxy Configuration.<br />

c In the No Proxy For field, type the URL for the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> (for<br />

example, <strong>G2</strong>nameexample.com.<br />

d Click OK to save the information and exit.<br />

3 Open an HTTP connection to the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>. For example:<br />

http://mysidewinder.example.com:1999/<br />

A pre-defined HTML change password form appears.<br />

4 Enter your user name.<br />

5 Enter your current password. This is your current password for establishing<br />

network connections.
