Basic over SSL Scheme Prerequisites

Ensure the following prerequisites are met before configuring a Basic over SSL authentication scheme:

• Client user name and password information must exist in a user directory.
• A directory connection exists between the Policy Server and the user directory.
• An X.509 Server Certificate is installed on the SSL Web server.
• The network must support an SSL connection to the client browser using the HTTPS protocol.
• A SiteMinder Web Agent must be installed on the Web server to which requests are redirected for SSL. The Web Agent enables the server to handle the .scc MIME type required by the authentication scheme.
