Browser Authentication through a Proxy Server

When a proxy server is inserted between the browser and the CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone Windows Agent server, which is the same as the CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone asserting party, authentication no longer works. In this case all URLs with relative domain names must be configured not to go through the proxy server.

To configure proxy settings when using the CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone Windows Agent

1. Open an Internet Explorer browser.
2. Select the Tools menu from the Internet Explorer menu bar.
3. Select Internet Options from the drop-down menu.
4. Click the Advanced Tab.
5. Scroll down to the Security section.
6. Verify that Enable Integrate Windows Authentication is selected.
7. Click the Connections tab.
8. Click the LAN Settings button.
9. Verify that the proxy server address and port number are correct.
10. Click the Advanced button.
11. List any relevant domain name in the Exceptions field.
12. Click OK.

The browser is configured to bypass the proxy server for the specified domains.
