Environment
Novell BorderManager 3.8 Support Pack 5
Novell BorderManager 3.9
Situation
BorderManager 3.5 added a feature called Proxy Chaining.
This allows the BM server to sit behind another proxy server that
requires authentication. BM will cache all objects returned
for requests containing authorization headers. For subsequent
requests to the came cached object, the BM proxy will request
authorization from the upstream proxy and if it is authorized, it
will send the object from it's own cache. This will ensure
that BM will cache objects, and will also dispense them to only
authorized users.
This feature, unfortunately, doesn't work after applying SP5
to BM3.8 or going to BM3.9. The upstream proxy server will
send a 401 status response and the pop up with the error gets
displayed at the browser.
Resolution
Fixed in NBM39SP2 support pack
