Configuring Dynamic HTTP Authentication
With SonicOS, username and passwords for HTTP URLs in the dynamic Botnet configuration are accepted, and the information is transmitted in the HTTP header so the network security appliance has the required information.
To configure dynamic HTTP authentication
- Navigate to POLICY | Security Services > Botnet Filter.
- Click Dynamic Botnet List Server.
- Select Enable botnet list download periodically. This option is not selected by default.
- From Download Interval, select the frequency of downloads:
- 5 minutes (default)
- 15 minutes
- 1 hour
- 24 hours
The network security appliance downloads the Botnet file from the server at the specified interval.
- From Protocol, select the protocol in which the network security appliance has to communicate with the backend server to retrieve the file:
- FTP (default)
- HTTPS
- In the Server IP Address field, enter the IP address of the server to which the Botnet list file will be downloaded.
- In the Login ID field, enter the login ID the network security appliance is to use to connect to the server.
- In the Password field, enter the password the network security appliance is to use to connect to the server.
- In the Directory Path field, enter the directory path the firewall from which the network security appliance retrieves the Botnet file. This server directory path is relative to the default root directory.
