Configure Browser

Configure the browser settings for Kerberos authentication.

Before you begin

Windows Auto-login works if the following tasks are accomplished.

About this task

The steps describe how to configure the browser settings on Internet Explorer (IE). Since IE settings are shared by Chrome, you do not have to configure it separately for the Chrome browser.
Important: Windows Auto-login is not supported on the node where the Proficy Authentication service is running. To enable auto-login, configure the browser settings on a node different from the Proficy Authentication service node.

Procedure

  1. Go to Control Panel > Internet Options
    The Internet Properties dialog appears.
  2. On the Security tab, select Local intranet > Sites.
    The Local intranet window appears.
  3. Select Advanced.
  4. In Add this website to the zone, enter the URL of the Proficy Authentication service, and then select Add.
  5. Select Close.
  6. Select OK to close the open windows.

Results

Kerberos supported SPNEGO authentication is enabled on your IE browser.

For Windows Auto-login, use UseKerbAuth query parameter while accessing the Proficy Authentication service URL. For example, https://FQDN of the Proficy Authentication Service Node/uaa/?UseKerbAuth=true
