The industry standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) can be used for HTTP proxy authentication.

SSL provides authentication using your NDS username and password.

fix

Configuring SSL requires the following steps:
1. Secure Authentication Services (SAS) must be installed.
This should have been installed during the NetWare 5.0 or BorderManager 3.0 Installation.)

2. Create the Certificate Authority (CA). In NWADMIN Select "Set Context..." from the view menu. Type [Root] in the context field. You should now see the Security Object. Right click the Security object and select create. Select the Certificate Authority object type and click OK. A wizard will now help you finish creating the Certificate Authority object.

3. Create a Key Material Object (KMO). You will now need to create a KMO in the same container as the BorderManager server. In NWADMIN right click on the container that the BorderManager server is in and select create. Choose Key Material as the object type and click OK. A wizard will now help you finish creating the Key Material Object (KMO).

4. We will now configure and enable Proxy Authentication. In NWADMIN right mouse click on your BorderManager Server object and select Details. Click on the BorderManager Setup page. Select the Authentication Context button. Enable HTTP Proxy Authentication.

5. For SSL authentication, enable SSL and in the Key ID field select the Key Material Object (KMO) that you created in step 3.

6. Select HTML Form or JAVA Applet as the Authentication page.

7. Configure Maximum idle time before requiring a new login for the amount of time you want users idle, before prompting for authentication again. The maximum time is 24 hours.

8. To define the contexts to search for users when performing authentication, click on the Context tab. To add a context click the Add button (next to the X). Enter the NDS Context (do not put a leading dot). Enter the NDS Tree Name, click on OK.

9. Click on OK to return to the BorderManager Setup page.

10. Click on OK again to have the settings take place.
