Enabling the web listener
A web listener is software that accepts connections from web browsers on the LAN configured to use the
ProLiant DL320 Security Server as a web proxy server. The web browser sends requests to connect to the
Internet directly to the IP address on the ProLiant DL320 Security Server, listening for outbound web
requests. Some advantages of configuring the web browser to use the ProLiant DL320 Security Server as
a web proxy include:
•
The client computer connecting to the server does not rely on its default gateway configuration to
connect to the Internet. The client computer must only know the route to the internal IP address of the
server.
•
Non-Microsoft
®
operating systems can authenticate with the ProLiant DL320 Security Server.
•
You can use RADIUS to authenticate web browsers connecting through the web proxy. Microsoft
®
implements RADIUS as part of its IAS servers, which is a service available on Microsoft
®
Windows
Server™ 2003 and Microsoft
®
Windows
®
2000 Server family products.
•
You can configure:
•
A connection time-out for web browsers connected to the server
•
A limit on the number of simultaneous connections
