Abstract :
We propose a web forward proxy server with authentication method using Shibboleth. With this proxy Single Sign-On would benefit a user and also authentication using Shibboleth protocol solves problems in basic access authentication and digest access authentication supported by existing web forward proxy servers. In order to realize it, the proxy needs to recognize attributes of shibboleth protocol and session cookies and to modify session cookies. We implemented system and evaluated it by accessing to electronic journals from a test network.
