Proxy Authentication Schemes

Proxy authentication schemes are schemes that use the Policy Server as a proxy or substitute for the server required by a third party authentication product. With a proxy scheme, the Policy Server performs the authentication function of the third party server using scheme specific libraries.

SiteMinder supports the following proxy authentication schemes:

• RSA ACE/Server (used with SecurID tokens)
• RSA ACE/Server (used with SecurID tokens) with HTML forms support for resetting passwords
• Secure Computing Safeword Server
• RADIUS Server
