ZAS can only authenticate connections for which Zorp services explicitly request authentication. To allow this, the connection between Zorp and ZAS has to be set up. This requires configuring some connection parameters both in Zorp and in ZAS. The procedure below describes how to configure these parameters.

Now an Authentication policy has to be set up. Authentication policies are used by Zorp services and specify which authentication provider is used by the service, the type of authentication (inband, outband), and caching parameters. An authentication policy can be used by multiple services.

To actually use the authentication policy configured above, the Zorp services have to reference the policy.

Figure 15.25. Using authentication in Zorp services

The authentication policy to be used by the service can be selected from the Authentication policy combobox on the Instances tab of the Zorp ZMC component. The combobox displays all the available authentication policies.
