socks.authenticate.force( )
This property controls the relation between SOCKS authentication and denial.
Syntax
socks.authenticate.force(yes|no)
The default value is no.
where:
•
yes—Makes socks.authenticate( ) higher priority than deny( ) or exception( ). Use yes to
ensure that userID's are available for access logging, even of denied requests.
•
no—deny( ) and exception( ) have a higher priority than socks.authenticate( ). This
setting allows early denial (based on proxy card, address or port, client address, or SOCKS
version, for example). That is, the denial preempts any authentication requirement.
Note: This does not affect regular
authenticate( ).
