Authentication with a BA header

Edit online

Use the –B–U "username"–W "password" option to enable WebSEAL authentication using basic authentication. 
-B -U "username" -W "password"
The conditions for this scenario include:
  • The back-end server is set up to require verification of WebSEAL's identity with a BA header.
  • Do not configure the junction with any –b option. (Internally, however, the –B option uses –b filter.)
  • WebSEAL is configured to pass its identity information in a BA header to authenticate to the back-end server.
  • For greater security, additionally configure the junction for DN matching (–D).
You must surround the user name and password arguments with double quotation marks. For example: 
-U "WS1" -W "abCde"
