Managing General TCP Services With Authentication
Many sites rely on group ware or other interconnected applications, such as accounting
packages and database applications. Each of these services uses a proprietary protocol,
which would require its own application-specific proxy. The plug proxy might be an
ideal candidate for many of these applications. However, administrators also want to
control who can access the service (by username), which the plug proxy cannot do.
Instead, administrators can use the circuit proxy to allow certain users to tunnel these
proprietary applications through the firewall.
Caution:
Allowing proprietary protocols through your firewall is a really big unknown.
Because the protocols are proprietary, the firewall and the proxy have no idea what sorts
of data or requests the applications are sending. Nor do we have any idea how safe the
actual application is. Do not use the circuit proxy for proprietary protocols without first
performing a risk assessment.
This chapter explains the concepts behind the circuit proxy, how it works, and how to
configure and use the circuit proxy.
Understanding the Circuit Proxy
The Gauntlet circuit proxy is an authenticated TCP gateway that provides configurable
access control and logging mechanisms. The proxy, which runs on the firewall,
authenticates users and passes TCP-based application requests through the firewall,
using rules you supply. It essentially tunnels information from a port on the firewall to
a specific port on another machine, after authenticating the user.
You can configure the circuit proxy to service:
•
database applications
•
financial applications
•
groupware
