In Type, you can enter a proxy authentication method type. Depending on the type selected, a new tab opens where you can make further settings.
-
If required, maintain the header and cookie filtering settings to control which information is forwarded during proxy communication.
-
In Response Header Blacklist, enter a comma-separated list of HTTP response headers that must not be forwarded to the client. Use this to prevent specific response headers (for example, authentication or session-related headers) from being exposed to the client.
-
In Request Header Blacklist, enter a comma-separated list of HTTP request headers that must not be forwarded to the remote server. This allows you to suppress client headers that should not be considered during back-end authentication.
-
In Request Cookie Filter, enter a comma-separated list of cookie IDs that must not be sent to the remote server. This is useful when certain session or authentication cookies could interfere with the intended log-in process, for example, in multi-system or integration scenarios.
