Configure an X.509 Certificate or HTML Forms Authentication Scheme

You use an X.509 Certificate or HTML Forms authentication scheme to implement certificate and/or HTML forms-based authentication.

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.

To configure the authentication scheme

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

    The Create Authentication Scheme pane opens.

  3. Click OK.

    Authentication scheme settings open.

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

  4. Select X509 Client Cert or Form Template from the Authentication Type Style list.

    Scheme-specific settings open.

  5. Enter a name and a protection level in the General group box.
  6. Enter server and target information in the Scheme Setup group box.
  7. Click Submit.

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

Note: For Apache Web servers where Certificates are required or optional, uncomment the SSL Verify Depth 10 line in the httpd.conf file.
