Configure Secure Connections for Mashables
Mashable information sources may require credentials, specific secure protocols or other security information to accept connections from MashZone NextGen and process requests. These security requirements are called security profiles in MashZone NextGen.
Users provide credentials or other security information when they register mashables with MashZone NextGen based on the security profile they choose during registration. MashZone NextGen provides security profiles for some of the most common secure connection requirements:
*HTTP Basic authentication = basic credentials (user name and password) for authentication with the mashable information source.
*CAS2 = authentication is handled by the Central Authentication Server (CAS), a single sign-on solution, using the CAS2 protocol.
To enable this security profile, MashZone NextGen administrators must also configure MashZone NextGen authentication for SSO using CAS2.
*NTLM authentication = Windows credentials (user name, password and NT domain) for authentication with the mashable information source.
*SSL and Digital Certificates = HTTPS using mutual SSL for a secure connection and the certificate to provide authentication with the mashable information source.
Tp enable this security profile, MashZone NextGen administrators must also configure MashZone NextGen for SSL.
*SSO = credentials or other authentication information provided by user-agent-based single sign-on solutions, such as SiteMinder.
To enable this security profile, MashZone NextGen administrators must also configure MashZone NextGen authentication for SSO.
If a mashable has other security requirements, MashZone NextGen developers or administrators can Implement a Custom Security Profile Client that handles these unique requirements and then Register a Custom Security Profile with MashZone NextGen.
