Managing passwords 17

HTTP header-based authentication

HTTP header-based authentication uses extra fields in the header of an HTTP request for

authentication of the user. In this scenario, Breeze login requests are routed to a proxy server

positioned between the client and the Breeze Server. The proxy server performs the role of the

authentication server. The proxy server takes the original HTTP request from the client and

augments it with an extra HTTP header field with the user ID. The Breeze server uses this

information to identify the user. if the user passes this authentication test, the Breeze server

creates a valid session and allows the user to begin using the system

To implement HTTP header-based authentication for Breeze, changes must be made to two

Breeze configuration files.

1. Access the Breeze server and open the following file:

Breeze_Install_Dir\appserv\conf\WEB-INF\web.xml

Change the following section to enable it by removing the commenting-out code:

<!--

<filter-mapping>

<filter-name>HeaderAUthenticationFilter</filter-name>

<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>

</filter-mapping>

-->

1. Add an entry to the Breeze custom.ini file as follows:

HTTP_AUTH_HEADER=header_field_name

where header_field_name is the extra HTTP field used for authentication. For example:

HTTP_AUTH_HEADER=X-User-Id

The value of this field must be the user login that already exists in Breeze.

Other methods for managing passwords

If you select not to use automatic single sign-on, there are two other methods available for

managing passwords with DSI. Under both of these scenarios, users will need to enter their

Breeze login and password.

Notifying users to set their password

In this scenario, users who are added to Breeze through DSI are automatically sent an e-mail

with a link to set their password. This option can be selected on the Policy Settings screen

under the Directory Service Settings tab.
