Re: Help neded securing HTTP Proxy Server

You can use the server's protection function to control which clients can
use
your server as a proxy. This is part of controlling access to your server.
<end snip>

I've never used the HTTP server as a proxy, but I have defined a few
protection setups.  I might at least get you started in the right direction.

The best source of information I know of, is the HTTP Server Webmasters
Guide - available from the on-line library.  I've downloaded the PDF
version.  The form provided by the *ADMIN server is not intuitive.

The "protect" directive and related subdirectives in the HTTP Server
Configuration file cause the HTTP server to request a User ID and Password
before allowing access to a URL.  The User Id can be an AS/400 user profile,
or an ID defined in an access control list.

The protect directive works in combination with a pass directive.  The pass
directive opens access to a specified URL template, while the protect
directive ensures that only authorized used have access to that URL.

Hope that gets you started.
