Firefox/SeaMonkey
The browser displays the login dialog. For security reasons, automatic user authentica-
tion is not used by default in the browser. This behaviour of the browser can be changed
by modification of configuration parameters — see below.
If authentication fails and direct connection is applied, the firewall’s login page is opened
automatically (refer to chapter
). The login dialog is displayed if proxy server is used.
Note: If NTLM authentication fails by any reason, details are recorded in the error log (see
chapter
Firefox/SeaMonkey configuration
Configuration can be changed to enable automatic NTLM authentication — leaving out the
login dialog. Check the following example:
1.
Insert about:config in the browser’s address bar. The list of configuration parameters is
displayed.
2.
Set corresponding configuration parameter(s) using the following instructions:
•
For direct connection (proxy server is not set in the browser):
Look up the network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris parameter.
Use
the WinRoute host’s name as a value for this parameter (e.g.
server
or
server.company.com
). This name must match the server name set under Con-
figuration → Advanced Options → Web Interface (see chapter
Note: It is not possible to use IP address as a value in this parameter!
•
If WinRoute proxy server is used:
Look up the network.automatic-ntlm-auth.allow-proxies parameter and set
its value to true.
Configuration changes are applied right away, i.e. it is not necessary to restart the browser.
25.3 FTP on WinRoute’s proxy server
Proxy server in WinRoute, version 6.0.2 and later (see chapter
), supports FTP. When using
this method of accessing FTP servers, it is necessary to keep in mind specific issues regarding
usage of the proxy technology and parameters of WinRoute’s proxy server.
1.
It is necessary that the FTP client allows configuration of the proxy server. This condition
is met for example by web browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox/SeaMonkey, Opera, etc.),
Total Commander (originally Windows Commander), CuteFTP, etc.
