User Authentication

You can configure the Clearswift Gateway to validate user identities by means of the following:

• Client Basic Authentication using LDAP
• Client Integrated Authentication using the Domain Controller
• Client Integrated and Basic Authentication using the Domain Controller
• Kerberos Authentication using Kerberos Distribution Center
• Kerberos Authentication and Basic Authentication using Kerberos Distribution Center

Alternatively, you can choose to not authenticate users; in which case, any machine whose IP address is contained in a Machine List will be able to use the Gateway as a proxy, regardless of the user.

You can apply HTTP and HTTPS authentication across both explicit and transparent proxy modes.
