Configure Proxy Authentication

Select Administration > System Settings to configure proxy authentication. . Select Enterprise Authentication from the menu.

You can select either active or passive authentication.

  • Active authentication is for Lookout proxy authentication. User information is applied based on the SSO login (proxy authentication) credentials.
  • Passive authentication is for a downstream authenticating proxy (such as BlueCoat) authentication. User login information is applied based on the cloud login credentials, if the header does not contain the user information.
    1. Select a Proxy Authentication Method, either Enterprise Single Sign-on (active) or Proxy Header Authentication (passive).

      If you select Proxy Header Authentication:

  • Enter an Authentication Header name.
  • Enter a Tenant Header Name for the applicable tenant.
    1. Click Save.

      When forward proxy is used for SSO-enabled cloud applications, create a Cloud Authentication policy with the Allow & Go Direct action, which will enable traffic to be sent to the cloud via a direct URL rather than a hyphenated URL after SSO authentication.
