How It Works

proxy. The proxy examines the request and determines that it is a basic request for HTTP
service. The proxy checks the source and destination ports in the netperm-table file. It then
sends the request to the web server specified in the URL. When it receives the requested
data, it passes the data back to the requesting web browser.

If the request is for Gopher or FTP services (from a Web or Gopher client), it is still the
http-gw proxy which receives the request, and it still uses the http-gw rules.

If the request is for some sort of secure HTTP transaction using either the SHTTP or SSL
protocols, the proxy performs the appropriate hand-off with the secure server at the
other end of the connection.

If you have not configured or can not configure the web browser to know about the HTTP
proxy, the firewall still calls the HTTP proxy for requests on port 80. However, it does
not handle requests for services on other ports (for example, 8080). You can, however,
run a second or even a third HTTP proxy on popular alternate ports.

Authenticated HTTP

If you want to authenticate users before allowing them to access information, the firewall
runs the authenticating HTTP proxy (ahttp-gw) as a daemon listening for requests on the
HTTP port (8080). When the firewall receives requests for service on this port, it
performs the normal configuration checks to ensure that the initiating host has
permission to use the desired service to the desired destination.

If the host has permission, ahttp-gw prompts the user to authenticate. It verifies the
information with Gauntlet authentication database. If the user provided proper
authentication, ahttp-gw passes processing over to the HTTP proxy.

The proxy remains active as long as a persistent connection between the source and
destination remains. Each time the connection breaks (due to inactivity, pressing the stop
button, or selecting a link before the initial page finishes loading, or any other reason),
the ahttp-gw proxy reauthenticates you. If you are using reusable passwords, your
browser remembers this information and reauthenticates on your behalf. If you are
using strong authentication, you must reauthenticate each time the connection breaks.
