CHAPTER 5: AUTHENTICATION DEPLOYMENT TEST AUTHENTICATION SETTINGS

NOTE: In order to complete the test process, you should be sure you have your own filtering profile set up.

To verify that authentication is working, do either of the following, based on the Tier you selected:

If Tier 2 or Tier 3 Web-based authentication will be used: Go to the Test Web-based authentication settings sub-section for instructions on testing the Authentication Request Form login page from a single workstation. For this test, you will create an IP profile for the test machine’s IP address, and set the Redirect URL for the profile to access the Authentication Request Form.

NOTE: Before testing Web-based authentication settings, be sure the SSL certificate you created via the System > Authentication > Authentication SSL Certificate window (in Chapter 2) is placed on all workstations of users who will be authenticated. This ensures that users will not receive the Security Alert warning message from the server.

If Tier 1 net use based authentication will be used: Go to the Test net use authentication settings sub-section for instructions on testing the net use based login command to see if you can access the assigned profile.

If you (the administrator) can be successfully authenticated in the domains that were set up, the test process is complete, and you are ready to activate authentication on the network (see Activate Authentication on the Network).
