Configure a Basic Over SSL Authentication Scheme

You can use a Basic Over SSL authentication scheme to verify user identities against the user names and passwords that exist in the user directory. Credential delivery is completed over an encrypted Secure Sockets Layer.

Note: The following procedure assumes that you are creating an object. You can also copy the properties of an existing object to create an object. For more information, see Duplicate Policy Server Objects.

Follow these steps:

1. Click Infrastructure, Authentication.
2. Click Authentication Schemes.
3. Click Create Authentication Scheme.

   Verify that the Create a new object of type Authentication Scheme is selected.

   Click OK

4. Enter a name and protection level.
5. Select Basic over SSL Template from the Authentication Scheme Type list.

   Scheme-specific settings open.

6. Enter Server Name and Target information.
7. Click Submit.

   The authentication scheme is saved and may be assigned to a realm.
