I am currently using a SuiteSpot server to proxy client requests to a
back end web server. The proxy currently runs as a service in
obj.conf. The user has turned on authentication on there web server. I
get the username/password dialog box, enter a correct response and get
"authorization failed. Retry?".

What do I add to my code to pass the Authorization header to the back
end web server?
Do I need a AuthTrans entry in Obj.conf. (I'm not doing any validation)?

Help

Dean,

Check out my home page at www.leerssen.com. On the left-hand navigation
panel, you'll find an NSAPI proxy that I wrote, and it passes the
authorization header along if it exists. It also shows you how to
replace it if you want.
