Modifying authentication options

If the HTML document you want to clip requires some form of authentication to access it, you can provide this authentication information to the Web clipping portlet.

1. Click Modify authentication options.
2. Click Authentication required.
3. Click Set credentials. Select the type of vault slot you would like to associate with the Web clipping portlet. If you associate the Web clipping portlet with a vault that is not shared, you must specify a user ID and password to be stored with it.
   • Use a shared vault slot Select the shared vault slot to associate with the Web clipping portlet from the list of defined and available vault slots.
   • Use a vault slot that is not shared Select a vault slot that is not shared to associate with the Web clipping portlet from the list of defined and available vault slots.
     • User ID Enter the user ID used to access the document.
     • Password Enter the password used to access the document.
     • Confirm password Enter the password again for verification.
4. Select the type of authentication to be used and enter any appropriate information.
   • HTTP Basic Authentication If HTTP Basic Authentication is used to access the HTML document, specify the realm to which the document belongs.
   • Form-based authentication If the HTML document you are clipping is a form, specify the URL and parameters used by the form.
     • Log-in URL Enter the URL of the form.
     • User parameter name To determine this value, browse to retrieve the login page, right click on View Source, and use the name attribute of the INPUT tag.
     • Password parameter name To determine this value, browse to retrieve the login page, right click on View Source, and use the password attribute of the INPUT tag.
     • Additional key value pairs Enter any additional key value pairs corresponding to other parameters required by the form. Use an ampersand (&) to separate each pair.
   • NTLM authentication This authentication scheme allows you to authenticate using Integrated Windows Authentication (NTLM). This type of authentication allows a client to authenticate using Windows account credentials by "proving" to the server that the client has knowledge of the account user name and password without ever sending the password to the server.
     • NT domain name The name of the NT domain in which the authenticating user has membership. This is not the domain of the current workstation. If the domain is left empty, the host name of the current client workstation is used. See your administrator for additional information.
       Note: Optional for all LM compatibility levels.
     • NT workstation name The name of the client NT workstation. If the workstation is left empty, the host name of the current client workstation is used by default. Note that in rare cases, when the client is a Windows machine, the host name of the client workstation may be different than the Windows machine name. In such cases, the workstation machine name should be specified.
       Note: Optional for all LM compatibility levels.
     • LM compatibility level Select the appropriate LM compatibility level. See your administrator for more information. The LM compatibility level defaults to 1 LM/NTLM.
       Note: Optional.
5. Click OK to continue or Cancel to quit.
