Using a PIX 525 with software 6.2 I am running into
some issues with the PIX and how it authenticates HTTP
access.

I have the PIX configured to authenticate against a
Cisco Secure ACS server running on Windows NT which is
setup to use an external Windows Domain for usernames.


When User A opens a web browser and points to a URL,
they are prompted for authentication. They
successfully login and are browsing ok. If they close
the browser and re-open, they are not prompted again
for authentication. If they log out and log back in as
another user, they are not prompted for
authentication, in fact they are still using User A as
the authenticated account.

I have played with the uauth timers on the PIX but it
just doesn't seem to be a good solution...
 
We are also using Raptor 6.5, and with Raptor the
browser sends the credentials every time and Raptor
verifies that the user is logged in. When you close
the browser, the browser no longer contains the cached
credentials so when you hit the firewall, you are
prompted for authentication. Therefore, you are only
asked for authentication once per browser session.
 
Can this be done with the PIX? Am I missing something?
Cisco's implementation does not seem to be a good from
what I have seen so far...

Any help is greatly appreciated!
