To configure the HTML Form-based Authentication filter,
complete the following fields:
Name
Enter an appropriate name for the filter.
Username
Enter the name of the HTML form field in which the user enters their username.
Defaults to username .
Password
Enter the name of the HTML form field in which the user enters their password.
Defaults to password .
Credential Format
You must specify the format of the user credentials presented by the client because
the Enterprise Gateway has no way of telling one credential format from another. Select from
User Name or Distinguished Name in the drop-down list.
The selected format is then used internally by the Enterprise Gateway when performing
authorization lookups against third-party Identity Management servers.
Repository Name
This specifies the name of the Authentication Repository where all user profiles are stored.
This can be in the Enterprise Gateway's local repository, in a database, or in an LDAP directory.
Select a pre-configured Repository Name from the drop-down list.
You can add a new repository by right-clicking the appropriate node under External
Connections -> Authentication Repository Profiles (for example,
Database Repositories), and selecting Add a new Repository.
For more details, see the Authentication Repository
tutorial.
