Configuring Caching Proxy Security
This provides information about basic security when using SSL with the Caching Proxy, enabling cryptographic hardware, or by using the IBM® Tivoli® Access Manager (formerly known as the Tivoli Policy Director) plug-in and the PAC-LDAP authorization module.
Subtopics
proxy server Security
Security of the Caching Proxy server is important and this provides details on how to control who has access to the files there.Server protection setups
Protection setups are triggered based on the request that the server receives, specifically on the particular directory, file, or type of file that the request addresses. Within a protection setup, subdirectives control how access is granted or denied based on the characteristics of the directories or files being protected.Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a system that automatically encrypts information before sending it over the Internet and decrypts it at the other end before it is used. This system protects sensitive information like credit card numbers while it is transmitted over the Internet.Enabling the support of cryptographic hardware
This procedure is used to enable the SSL handshake routine to be offloaded to a cryptographic hardware cardConfiguring the Tivoli Access Manager plug-in
A Caching Proxy plug-in is provided with Tivoli Access Manager (formerly Tivoli Policy Director) that enables Caching Proxy to use Access Manager for authentication and authorization. This plug-in makes it possible for an enterprise that uses Access Manager for Web access control to add Edge technology without having to duplicate work by setting up separate authorization schemes for the proxy server.Using the PAC-LDAP authorization module
The PAC-LDAP authorization module enables Caching Proxy to access a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server when performing authorization or authentication routines.
