Firefox/SeaMonkey
The browser displays the login dialog. For security reasons, automatic user authentica-
tion is not used by default in the browser. This behaviour of the browser can be changed
by modification of configuration parameters — see below.
If authentication fails and direct connection is applied, the firewall’s login page is opened
automatically (refer to chapter
). The login dialog is displayed if proxy server is used.
Note:
If NTLM authentication fails by any reason, details are recorded in the
error
log (see
chapter
).
Firefox/SeaMonkey configuration
Configuration can be changed to enable automatic NTLM authentication — leaving out the
login dialog. Check the following example:
1.
Insert
about:config
in the browser’s address bar. The list of configuration parameters is
displayed.
2.
Set corresponding configuration parameter(s) using the following instructions:
•
For direct connection (proxy server is not set in the browser):
Look up the
network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris
parameter.
Use
the
WinRoute
host’s name as a value for this parameter (e.g.
server
or
server.company.com
). This name must match the server name set under
Con-
figuration
→
Advanced Options
→
Web Interface
(see chapter
Note: It is not possible
to use IP address as a value in this parameter!
•
If
WinRoute
proxy server is used:
Look up the
network.automatic-ntlm-auth.allow-proxies
parameter and set
its value to
true
.
Configuration changes are applied right away, i.e. it is not necessary to restart the browser.
25.3 FTP on WinRoute’s proxy server
Proxy server in
WinRoute
, version
6.0.2
and later (see chapter
), supports FTP. When using
this method of accessing FTP servers, it is necessary to keep in mind specific issues regarding
usage of the proxy technology and parameters of
WinRoute’s
proxy server.
1.
It is necessary that the FTP client allows configuration of the proxy server. This condition
is met for example by web browsers (
Internet Explorer
,
Firefox/SeaMonkey
,
Opera
, etc.),
Total Commander
(originally
Windows Commander
),
CuteFTP
, etc.
