Hello all,
I'm having trouble finding some information on Netscape's Proxy server and
I was hoping you can help. Due to the screwed up internal network structure
here, the most efficient way to route internet reqests will be thru a proxy
server. We are looking at Netscape's proxy server because it supports LDAP
authentication while Microsoft's does not. Here is my question:
When used with a Checkpoint Firewall-1 box, what information does the
proxy server send to the firewall? Does it send the user ID that is making
the request or does it send a "generic" ID? The reason I am asking is that
we would like to granularly control who has access to what. For instance,
we would like to give access to certain URL's to certain people. The
easiest way to do this looks like it will be on the firewall. Can it be
done on either?
Another reason why we would like to do this is currently we have internet
access for the entire company only to certain sites (company webpage,
partner company pages, etc). Anyone can go to these pages without
authentication. To get to anywhere else, authentication is required. This
is also done with ftp and telnet. Can this be done thru the proxy/firewall
scenario? Thanks.
