Configure a Basic Authentication Scheme

You use a Basic authentication scheme to verify user identities against the user names and passwords that exist in the user directory.

Note: The following procedure assumes you are creating a new object. You can also copy the properties of an existing object to create an object. More information exists in Duplicate Policy Server Objects.

   The Create Authentication Scheme pane opens.

3. Click OK.

   Note: Click Help for descriptions of settings and controls, including their respective requirements and limits.

4. Select Basic Template from the Authentication Type Style list.
5. Enter a name and protection level in the General group box.
6. Click Submit.

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