Configure Optional Features for SSO Using HTTP

Secure Proxy provides the following optional features and you can configure them as required for your environment. These features are available for SSO and non-SSO configurations. Refer to Protocol configuration information for instructions on how to configure the following features:
  • Modify the HTTP connection requirement between Secure Proxy and inbound nodes by defining a specific IP address, a wildcard peer pattern, or an IP/subnet pattern
  • Secure the outbound HTTP connection between Secure Proxy and Sterling File Gateway using SSL or TLS
  • Authenticate an inbound certificate using Sterling External Authentication Server
  • Define alternate nodes for failover support

Sterling External Authentication Server provides the ability to configure multifactor authentication. In addition to configuring client authentication in Secure Proxy, Sterling External Authentication Server can authenticate the IP address, certificate, password, and/or group access.
