Enable LTPA authentication

The ltpa-auth stanza entry is located in the [ltpa] stanza of the WebSEAL configuration file. It enables and disables the LTPA authentication method.

LTPA authentication is disabled by default. To configure LTPA authentication, complete the following steps:

Steps

  1. Stop the WebSEAL server.

  2. Edit the WebSEAL configuration file. In the [ltpa] stanza, specify the protocols to support in the network environment. The protocols are shown in the following table.

    Protocol to Support Configuration File Entry
    HTTP ltpa-auth = http
    HTTPS ltpa-auth = https
    Both HTTP and HTTPS ltpa-auth = both
    Disable LTPA authentication (default) ltpa-auth = none

    For example, to support both protocols: [ltpa] ltpa-auth = both

  3. Customize the entries contained within the [ltpa] stanza.
  4. Restart the WebSEAL server.
