Configuring General Settings

1

Enter a Secure Communications Port and select a Client Redirect Protocol for client redirect. This port and protocol (HTTP or HTTPS) is used by the SonicWALL security appliance when executing the initial internal client redirect through the “Please wait while you are being redirected” page, prior to redirection to the LHM server.

2	Select the Web Server Protocol (HTTP or HTTPS) running on your LHM server from the pull-down list.

3	Enter the IP or resolvable FQDN of the LHM server in the Host field.

4	Enter the TCP port of operations for the selected protocol on the LHM server in the Port field.

5	Enter the duration of time, in seconds, before the LMH server is considered unavailable in the Connection Timeout field. On timeout the client is presented with the “Server Down” message configured on the “Web Content” tab.

6	Select Enable Message Authentication to use HMAC digest and embedded query string in communication with the LHM server. This option is useful if you are concerned about message tampering when HTTP is used to communicate with the LHM server.

7	When using Message Authentication, select Authentication Method from the pull-down menu. You can select from MD5 or SHA1.

8	When using Message Authentication enter a Shared Secret. The shared secret for the hashed MAC, if used, also needs to be configured on the LHM server scripts.
