External authentication interface configuration
This section describes how to configure WebSEAL to use the external authentication interface.
- Enabling the external authentication interface
- Initiating the authentication process
- Configuration of the external authentication interface trigger URL
The external authentication interface authentication process supports multiple request-response exchanges. For efficiency and the security of the WebSEAL server, these exchanges are typically streamed through WebSEAL. WebSEAL intercepts this exchange only when there is an occurrence of a special trigger URL in a request. - HTTP header names for authentication data
You must specify the names of the HTTP headers that contain the authentication data returned from the external authentication application. - Extracting authentication data from special HTTP headers
- How to generate the credential
- External authentication interface credential replacement
