Authentication Scheme Dialog—Basic over SSLTemplate—Scheme Setup Tab

The Scheme Setup tab for Basic over SSL authentication is where you enter server and target information for your Basic over SSL scheme.

Server

Specifies the fully qualified domain name of the SSL server.

Note: IP addresses are not supported.

This is the Web server that is responsible for establishing an SSL connection. Although it is possible, this is usually not the same server where the Web Agent is installed.

The server acts as the beginning of the URL that the Policy Server uses to redirect a user’s credentials over an SSL connection.

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–default port.

Target

Path and name for the SSL Credentials Collector (SCC).

The target tells the SiteMinder Web Agent what to use to invoke the SCC. It completes the URL that the Policy Server uses to redirect the user’s credentials over an SSL connection. The target can be customized in circumstances where proxy servers require specific URLs in order to support Basic over SSL authentication.

The default value for the Target field is:
/siteminder/nocert/smgetcred.scc?basic
