CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION AUTHENTICATION OPERATIONS

Tier 3: Session-based, Web Authentication

The diagram on the previous page (Fig. 1-6) and steps below describe the operations of the session-based authen- tication process:

1.The user makes a Web request by entering a URL in his/ her browser window.

2.The R3000 intercepts this request and sends the user the Authentication Request Form, requesting the user to log in with his/her login ID and password.

3.The R3000 verifies the user’s information with the authentication server (Domain Controller, Active Direc- tory, LDAP, etc.).

4.A pop-up window opens on the user’s workstation while the original window loads the requested URL. The user will continue to be authenticated as long as the pop-up window remains open.
