Setting up authentication for services<br />

Setting up<br />

authentication for<br />

services<br />

9-30 Setting Up Authentication<br />

Accessing the Web login and logout pages<br />

When Web Login is configured for SSO, any time a user attempts to<br />

access the Web the login window will appear prompting them to<br />

authenticate. A user can also access the authentication login page by<br />

directing their browser to:<br />

https://<strong>Sidewinder</strong><strong>G2</strong>_address.com:8111/sidewinder/login.html<br />

If a user wants to log out <strong>of</strong> the SSO cache manually (before their SSO<br />

authentication cache expires), they can point their browser to:<br />

https://<strong>Sidewinder</strong><strong>G2</strong>_address.com:8111/sidewinder/logout.html<br />

If a browser is configured for the proxy, you will need to configure<br />

that browser to NOT proxy requests going to the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> on<br />

port 8111. The following steps provide an example <strong>of</strong> configuring an<br />

exception using Netscape.<br />

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

2. Select Manual Proxy Configuration.<br />

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

example, <strong>G2</strong>name.xyz.com.<br />

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

To require authentication for users who require any services that use<br />

authentication (for example, HTTP, Web, SOCKS5, sshd, VPN, Telnet,<br />

FTP, and the Admin Console), you will need to configure the<br />

appropriate proxy rule(s) for each service, and ensure that they are<br />

included in the active proxy rule group.<br />

You can configure a proxy rule to support multiple authentication<br />

methods if multiple methods have been configured on the <strong>Sidewinder</strong><br />

<strong>G2</strong>. In this scenario, a user can specify the authentication method that<br />

they want the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> to use when they reply to a login<br />

prompt. For example, the following shows how a user can specify<br />

each authentication method from the login prompt:
