ReturnAuthRequiredIfAuthUserDenied Property of the IFPCWebListenerProperties Interface

The ReturnAuthRequiredIfAuthUserDenied property gets or sets a Boolean value that indicates whether to return a Proxy Authentication Required message when a user is authenticated by the Forefront TMG Web proxy but is denied access by the rules. By default, an access denied message is returned, and the user is not given the option of authenticating with different credentials.

[C++]
HRESULT put_ReturnAuthRequiredIfAuthUserDenied(
	VARIANT_BOOL fReturnAuthRequiredIfAuthUserDenied
);
HRESULT get_ReturnAuthRequiredIfAuthUserDenied(
	VARIANT_BOOL** pfReturnAuthRequiredIfAuthUserDenied
);

Parameters

pfReturnAuthRequiredIfAuthUserDenied

Pointer to a Boolean variable that is set on return to VARIANT_TRUE if a Proxy Authentication Required message will be returned when a user is authenticated by the Web proxy but is denied access by the rules, or to VARIANT_FALSE if a Proxy Authentication Required message will not be returned when a user is authenticated by the Web proxy but is denied access by the rules.

fReturnAuthRequiredIfAuthUserDenied

Boolean value that indicates whether to return a Proxy Authentication Required message when a user is authenticated by the Web proxy but is denied access by the rules.

Return Value

These property methods return S_OK if the call is successful; otherwise, they return an error code.

[Visual Basic]
Property ReturnAuthRequiredIfAuthUserDenied As Boolean

Property Value

Boolean value that indicates whether to return a Proxy Authentication Required message when a user is authenticated by the Web proxy but is denied access by the rules.

Example Code

This VBScript script sets the ReturnAuthRequiredIfAuthUserDenied property of the Internal network's Web listener to True or False according to the value supplied by the user.
'Define the constants needed
Const fpcInternalNetwork = 4
Main(WScript.Arguments)
Sub Main(args)
	Dim reqValue	' A string
	Dim newValue	' A Boolean

	If(1 <> args.Count) Then
		Usage()
	End If
	reqValue = UCase(args(0))
	If (reqValue = "TRUE" Or reqValue = "FALSE") Then
		If reqValue = "TRUE" Then
			newValue = True
		Else
			newValue = False
		End If
		SetNetworkReturnAuthReq newValue
	Else
		Usage()
	End If
End Sub
Sub SetNetworkReturnAuthReq(newValue)
	' Declare the objects needed.
	Dim root		' The FPCLib.FPC root object
	Dim isaArray	' An FPCArray object
	Dim networks	' An FPCNetworks collection
	Dim network	 ' An FPCNetwork object
	Dim currentValue  ' A Boolean
	' Create the root object.
	Set root = CreateObject("FPC.Root")
	' Get references to the array object 
	' and the networks collection.
	Set isaArray = root.GetContainingArray()
	Set networks = isaArray.NetworkConfiguration.Networks
	' Find the Internal network and set the property
	' for it.
	For Each network In networks
		If network.NetworkType = fpcInternalNetwork Then
			currentValue = network.WebListenerProperties.ReturnAuthRequiredIfAuthUserDenied
			WScript.Echo "Current value: " & currentValue
			If newValue <> currentValue Then
				network.WebListenerProperties.ReturnAuthRequiredIfAuthUserDenied = newValue
				WScript.Echo "New value: " _
					& network.WebListenerProperties.ReturnAuthRequiredIfAuthUserDenied
				network.Save
				WScript.Echo "Done!" 
			End If
		End If
	Next
End Sub
Sub Usage()
	WScript.Echo "Usage:" & VbCrLf _
		& "  " & WScript.ScriptName & " {True | False}"
	WScript.Quit
End Sub

Remarks

This property is read/write. Its default value is False (VARIANT_FALSE in C++).

In the forward proxy scenario, when this property is set to True (VARIANT_TRUE in C++), a user that is authenticated by the Web proxy but fails to pass the rules (for example, because they deny access to this user) receives HTTP error 407 (Proxy Authentication Required) and can try again using different credentials. If this property is set to False (VARIANT_FALSE in C++) (the default value), the user receives HTTP error 502 (Bad Gateway) with a resource denied error page and is not prompted again for credentials when the Web proxy denies access for a request. In the reverse proxy scenario, the corresponding HTTP errors are 401 (Unauthorized: Logon Failed) and 403 (Forbidden: Execute Access Forbidden).

This property cannot be accessed through Forefront TMG Management.

Client Requires Windows Vista or Windows XP.
Server Requires Windows Server 2008.
Version Requires Forefront Threat Management Gateway (TMG).
