4.4.2 HTTP Authentication (Internet Explorer Plug-in)

When you connect to some websites, an HTTP authentication window is displayed. Under Windows XP, this window looks like:
This window can be managed using the StandardLogin window type. However, if the password entered is not correct, the same window is displayed again with the same username that was previously entered in the User name field (The first time this window is displayed, no username is displayed). This window type has been created to manage such a case (StandardLogin and BadPassword mix).
•
This window is quite different for each of the Microsoft operating systems. If you have a heterogeneous computer installation, you will have to define several windows of this type in your configuration.
•
The Netscape 4.7 HTTP authentication window is managed by the StandardLogin window type.

4.4.2.1 Window Description

The configuration page looks like this:
•
For StandardLogin, you have to set the identifier and password fields with the target button.
•
For the identifier field, be sure to select the field within the list box and not the lustiest itself.
Internet Explorer allows you to save passwords. However, you may prefer to use SSOWatch. So clear the Remember my password check box and select the check box with the target tool.
Once the SSO data has been sent to the fields, you may validate the window.

4.4.2.2 SSOWatch Behavior

SSO actions for this window type correspond to StandardLogin and BadPassword window types:
•
The content of the Identifier field is retrieved; if it is empty, it is a StandardLogin behavior, and Standardlogin actions can be taken:
•
The username and password are retrieved from the security system.
•
If necessary, the user will be prompted to choose between the different accounts for this application.
•
If the selected (or single) account has no data, SSOWatch will ask the user for the associated password and will save it in the security database (collect).
•
Data is sent to the window.
•
Clear the Remember my password check box.
•
The window is validated.
•
BadPassword window type is activated.
•
If the identifier is not empty, it is a BadPassword behavior:
•
The user is warned that the password stored in the security system is not the one required by the application; so, he or she is prompted to enter the good password (the user can also change the identifier if he or she has misspelled it in the collect window).
•
If the new username/user password pair is validated by the user and the security database is updated successfully.
•
Username, password and optional fields are provided for the application.
•
The window is validated.
•
NewPassword window types are enabled.

5 The Microsoft Internet Explorer Plugin 

Before Starting
•
This plug-in is deprecated. To create new windows allowing SSO with Internet Explorer, Firefox or Chrome, use the Generic plug-in, as described in 4 The Generic Plug-in.
•
Use the Microsoft Internet Explorer plug-in only to modify single sign-on (SSO) configurations already using windows defined through this plug-in.
•
To migrate windows created with the Microsoft Internet Explorer plug-in to the Generic Plug-in, create the same windows using the Generic plug-in.
Description
The Microsoft Internet Explorer plug-in manages SSO in HTML documents in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.0. It works with HTML document forms.
The Internet Explorer plug-in provides several window types detailed in the following table:
Window Type
Description
IELogin
HTTP, Firewall or Proxy connection windows
HTMLLogin
Web/HTML application connection page
HTMLBadPassword
HTML page which indicates that the password entered in the HTMLLogin window is not correct, this allows SSO data collect mode.
The right username and password may be entered again this time.
HTMLNewPassword
HTML page which prompts for a new password (and generally for a confirmation)
HTMLBadNewPassword
Window type used to handle new password refusals in HTML pages
