Basic Authentication Forwarding

This form of authentication forwarding is supported on a wide variety of platforms, but is not very secure because it sends passwords in the clear across the network. The appliance can be configured to send each user’s authentication credentials, or “static” credentials (that is, the same credentials for all users).

To configure basic authentication forwarding

1. Configure a Web application profile to use SSO and specify which user credentials to use.

2. Attach the Web application profile to any Web resources for which you want to use SSO.

Basic authentication forwarding is configured within a Web application profile. For more information, see Adding Web Application Profiles.
