Authentication Scheme Dialog—SafeWord HTML Form Template—Scheme Setup Tab

This is where you enter the location of the SafeWord Server configuration file and specify details about the forms portion of the authentication process. This SafeWord Server configuration file is required by the Policy Server in order to properly process a SafeWord authentication.

Server Name

Fully qualified domain name of the web server on which the FCC was installed.

Note: IP addresses are not supported.

The server does not have to be the same server on which the Agent is installed. Domain names must contain at least 2 periods and be specified using the following format:

servername.host.com:[port]

Example: server1.security.com. The port is only required for communication over a non-standard port.

This name is case-sensitive. For information about cookie domains, see the SiteMinder Web Agent Guide.

Note: If your network includes multiple cookie domains, you must configure a separate HTML Forms authentication scheme in each cookie domain in which you want to implement HTML Forms authentication.

Use SSL Connection check box

Select this check box if you want SiteMinder to use an SSL connection to process HTML Forms authentication.

Target

Path and .fcc file used by the scheme.

The default path points to a virtual directory on the Web server specified in the Server Name field that was created during installation. The default target specifies the login.fcc file, a sample file that can be customized.

Secure Computing SafeWord Configuration File

Name of the SafeWord configuration file.

You must enter the full path and file name for the SafeWord configuration file. The Policy Server installation includes a sample configuration file:

SmSWEC.cfg located in <policy server install dir>/config

See SafeWord’s documentation for information about the contents of this configuration file.
