Hi Adam, When you force authentication, the web proxy client must send credentials to access web content. It will send credentials whether they are required or not. However, remember that the initial connection attempt is always anonymous.

I don't allow anonymous access. What effect would forcing authenictation have on outbound connections? Adam -----Original Message----- From: Thomas W.

You have to remove any anonymous access rules that will allow the client anonymous access. The most likely culprit is the default Site and Content Rule. Another thing you can do it force authentication on the outgoing web requests listener.

I've also installed the Firewall Client on the machines. When I check the logs I'm showing anonymous outbound access. I thought that maybe it was do to the fact that I allow the SecureNat and Firewall clients access to the through the http redirector filter, so I disabled that. Still showing some anonymous access. Also when I look at the active sessions I'm showing firewall client activity there, even though these particular individuals don't have any special access via the firewall client.
