Configure a Basic Over SSL Authentication Scheme

You 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 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.
