AsyncOS for Web can block users from accessing different categories of websites depending 
on who is trying to access a website. In these cases, users successfully authenticate, but they 
are not authorized to access certain websites due to configured URL filtering in the applicable 
Access Policy. You can allow these authenticated users another opportunity to access the web 
if they fail authorization.
Note — Only authenticated users are allowed to re-authenticate, not unauthenticated users.
You might want to do this for shared workstations that have multiple users, but the default 
account has limited access. If the default account on the workstation is blocked from a 
website due to restrictive URL filtering, the user can enter different authentication credentials 
that allow broader, more privileged access. 
To do this, enable the “Enable Re-Authentication Prompt If End User Blocked by URL 
Category” global authentication setting. The user sees a block page that includes a link that 
allows them to enter new authentication credentials. The Web Proxy evaluates those 
credentials against the authentication realms defined in the applicable Identity group, and if 
the new credentials allow greater access, the requested page appears in the browser. For more 
information, see “Configuring Global Authentication Settings” on page 353.
Note — The Web Proxy evaluates the new credentials against the authentication realms 
defined in the applicable Identity group only. It does not compare them against all other 
Identity groups. 
When a more privileged user authenticates and gets access, the Web Proxy caches the 
privileged user identity for different amounts of time depending on the authentication 
surrogates configured:
• Session cookie. The privileged user identity is used until the browser is closed or the 
session times out.
• Persistent cookie. The privileged user identity is used until the surrogate times out.
• IP address. The privileged user identity is used until the surrogate times out.
• No surrogate. The Web Proxy requests authentication for every new connection, but most 
browsers will cache the privileged user credentials and authenticate without prompting 
the user until the browser is closed. However, because the Web Proxy requests 
authentication for every new connection, there is an increased impact on the 
authentication server when using NTLMSSP. 
Note — To use the re-authentication feature with user defined end-user notification pages, 
the CGI script that parses the redirect URL must parse and use the Reauth_URL parameter. For 
more information, see “Working with User Defined End-User Notification Pages” on 
page 249.
