Configuring a Replacement Proxy Web Forward
Replacement details require two sets of information; the first is the basic information of the Web site.
• Destination URL: The URL of the site you wish to access
• Encoding: This overrides the encoding of the HTTP response; this should be left as default
unless otherwise informed by a Barracuda Central engineer.
• Restrict to hosts: This restricts what hostnames the user can access. Any user accessing the
site can access only the URL hostname and any hostnames listed in this box. If the list is
empty then no restrictions apply, if the hostname specified is the hostname of the URL then
users cannot access any pages located outside of the hostname.

The second part of information required is the authentication details.
Authentication
Replacements and reverse proxy can not only access a site or an application but can also authenticate
the user accessing it. When the Web forward connects to the URL the additional information provided
here are passed in to the site automatically authenticating the user.
Depending on the type of authentication type you select in the dropdown the appropriate parameters
are listed.
The wizard provides two types of authentication FORM and HTML authentication.
