3.3 Configuring Web Browsers

All web browsers within the organization should be configured to send web requests to the WebMarshal server on the appropriate port. By default, the port for proxy requests is port 8080. If browsers are already configured to send requests to another port (for example, if SquidNT has been listening on port 3128), you can configure WebMarshal to accept requests on the existing port assignment. For information on rolling the configuration out to a large number of workstations, please see Trustwave Knowledge Base article Q10506.

Web browser sessions are authenticated by WebMarshal. Authentication can use Microsoft accounts through Basic Authentication or Windows Integrated authentication, Novell NDS user information through Basic Authentication, or the IP address of the user’s workstation.

If you are planning to use HTTPS Rules, you should ensure that the WebMarshal Root Certificate is installed for all browsers. See “Generating and deploying a HTTPS Root Certificate”.
