Environment: Cisco Web Security Appliance (WSA), all versions of AsyncOS
Firefox is not sending authentication credentials transparently. Internet Explorer is working correctly with transparent authentication.
Note: This Knowledge Base article references software which is not maintained or supported by Cisco. The information is provided as a courtesy for your convenience. For further assistance, please contact the software vendor.
Some versions of Firefox do not automatically trust all servers to send transparent credentials to. The newest versions appear to be having the problem.
You will need to manually add the Web Security Appliance transparent authentication redirection hostname into the trusted URLs in Firefox. This value can be found in the GUI interface on the Network --> Authentication page. Look for the setting
'Transparent Authentication Redirect Hostname'.
- Open Firefox and type about:config in the address bar (without the quotes).
- In the Filter field type the following network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris.
- Double-click the name of the preference that we just searched for.
- Enter the Transparent Authentication Redirect Hostname.

For Firefox version 10 - 12 running on Windows 7, also need the following to be changed to 'False'.

Basic Authentication for a web service in an app that uses custom authentication
I've got a web application that uses a customized version of Forms authentication. However, as part of that web app, I have a web service that I want clients to be able to consume, and I'd like that web service to use Basic authentication. To complicate matters, I'd like the service to be usable anonymously (without any authentication), and make the 'basic' authentication 'optional' (wherein the web service would check for the existence of the authentication information and return modified results acordingly.)Ideally, I'd like it to be just thi...

http BASIC authentication question
I am relatively new to Asp.Net. Here's my question: I need to do a simple http POST to a service URL (at a different domain) with all the parameters in the query string. For security purposes the service URL is using http BASIC authentication. I need to add an 'Authorization' header with a Base64 encoded username and password to gain access to the service. For the sake of illustration, assuming the login is: Abcdef and the password is aBC123abc -- what would the coding look like (in VB)? My understanding is that the code would be placed in the web.config fi...
BASIC Authentication against nonWindows repository and combining BASIC and FORMS Authentication
My applications have two requirements that don't seem to be met easily in ASP.Net: I need real BASIC authentication against a respository that isn't Windows; I need to allow both BASIC and FORM Authentication to the same application; The first because our user repository for the application is an LDAP server; the second because we have both browser and desktop application clients for the same web application. The direction I'm currently exploring for this is to: Set the application for FORM authentication; Examine the request early in the process and check for the HTTP he...

Http basic authentication [Edit]
Hello all, I need to create a Soap client to send zip attachment to web server and to do so I imported the correct WSDL. The problem is that the server needs a basic authentication ( user:password base64 ) in http header and there has been no way to add it. I tried with Windows API InternetSetOption and with HTTPAddRequestHeaders ( intercepting the hhtp event OnBeforePost ) with no luck. The server responds there is no header. So, is there any class that permits to do basic authentication ? Edited by: private User on Aug 29, 2012 12:12 AM ...
Passing username from windows authenticated app to forms authenticated app
I have an application which will be used by intranet and internet users. Domain users will point to a Windows authentication configured site. If authenticated, I want to get their username and then pass them into the main site (forms based authentication) where their username will be used to lookup their account info. I will then give them a forms authenticated ticket without having to make them supply a password. If the domain user is not authenticated, I have an IIS redirect set to trigger off the 401.2 error in order to send them to the main forms login page. I'm not...
Basic Authentication in Firefox 3b5 Extension
I have a Firefox 2 extension the behaves differently in Firefox 3b5. The extension is trying to make an authenticated request to the Delicious API.

Basic HTTP Authentication with HttpWebRequest: weird behavior
I have a client app that needs to request a page from a web server, and the web server requires basic authentication. While trying to code this request into the client, i have come across peculiar behavior.A little background on the way HttpAuthentication is *supposed* to work:1. The client requests a protected resource from the server.2. The server responds with a 401 status, indicating that the client must authenticate.3. The client sends the credentials, and assuming they are correct, the Response contains the resource that was requested.So, I wrote the following code, which behaves...
basic authentication with POE::Component::Client::HTTP
