Reply:
WebMarshal supports client connections from current versions of major browser software running on any operating system, as well as non-browser applications that can use proxy servers.
WebMarshal also works with client software on handset devices that meet the technical requirements described below (subject to the limitations of the devices).
The relevant open standards are Internet RFC 2616 (HTTP 1.1) and Internet RFC 2617 (HTTP Authentication).
The following information applies to WebMarshal as a standalone proxy.
- WebMarshal user authentication supports client connections from software that implements RFC 2616 and RFC 2617, and can be configured to use an explicit proxy server.
- WebMarshal NTLM (Windows integrated) authentication requires client software that implements NTLM.
- WebMarshal NTLM authentication is known to work with Internet Explorer, and with Firefox 3 and above for Windows. Other browsers and applications may also support this standard.
- WebMarshal IP authentication supports connections from software that implements RFC 2616 and can be configured to use an explicit proxy server.
Trustwave does not test third party browsers for conformance to the RFCs. However the following browsers are known to work with WebMarshal :
- Microsoft Edge
- Internet Explorer current versions (Windows)
- Firefox current versions (Windows, Linux, Mac)
- Google Chrome current versions (Windows, Mac, Android)
- Safari 3.2.2 and above (Windows)
- Safari (Mac) - latest versions
- Opera 8 and 9 (Windows)
- Google Chrome (Windows, Mac, Android)
- Mobile-safari (iPod Touch, iPhone)
- Opera Mobile (Symbian S60 v3)
- Nokia browser (Symbian S60 v3)
Notes:
Results with the WebMarshal ISA plugin may vary. With the ISA plugin, proxy connections and authentication are managed by ISA.
