Configure proxy authentication

ALM was certified with the following forms of authentication:

  • Forward proxy: NTLM and Basic. If forward proxy requires authentication, you must pre-configure proxy authentication credentials in the Webgate Customization tool (or API) to prevent ongoing authentication requests.
  • Reverse proxy: Client authentication (in a Smart Card environment) and Basic authentication.

You can use the Webgate Customization tool to configure the proxy and identify the authentication credentials it requires, as well as any required front end web server credentials. Go to Help > ALM Tools > Webgate Customization to access the tool. On the Proxy Settings tab, select the type of proxy server and enter Proxy Username, Proxy Password, and Domain.
