   Overview of How to Configure Proxy Authentication describes the properties that need to be edited in the SSO Adapter Template to enable support for administrator proxy authentication.

   Property	Value	Description
   enableProxyAuth	true | false	The value associated with this attribute is a flag to indicate if proxy authentication is enabled or not. If true, the SSO Adapter and Application Adapter perform proxy authentication. For example, &enableProxyAuth=true
   proxyAdminUid	(configurable)	The value associated with this attribute is the administrator’s user name. For example,  &proxyAdminUid=ServiceAdmin
   proxyAdminPassword	(configurable)	The value associated with this attribute is the administrator’s user password. For example,  &proxyAdminPassword=mailpwd
   userAttribute	(configurable)	The value associated with this attribute is the user’s naming attribute. This value is mapped to an attribute on the user’s record (the user’s entry in the directory). A typical record has several attributes, including the User ID (uid) and employee number. By default, the naming attribute is set to uid. For example, &userAttribute= uid By editing the SSO Adapter template, you can map the naming attribute to another attribute, such as employee number.
   The preceding four properties appear in the SSO Adapter template string again. You can set the configuration of the properties to default or merge. In the following examples, they are all set to default.
   Property	Value	Example
   enableProxyAuth	default	&default=enableProxyAuth
   proxyAdminUid	default	&default=proxyAdminUid
   proxyAdminPassword	default	&default=proxyAdminPassword
   userAttribute	default	&default=userAttribute
