Configuring a caller to use Web-based authentication
Web-based authentication types validate users by checking a user list that is
associated with the Web-based service. Symantec pcAnywhere supports FTP,
HTTP, and HTTPS.
To configure a caller to use Web-based authentication

In the Symantec pcAnywhere window, in Advanced View, on the left
navigation bar, click Hosts.
2
In the right pane, under Hosts, right-click the connection item that you want
to configure, and then click Properties.
3
In the Host Properties window, on the Callers tab, under Authentication type,
select the Web-based authentication method that you want to use.
4
Under Caller list, click the New Item icon.

In the Caller Properties window, on the Identification tab, type the name of
the authentication server.
6
Type the logon name for the user.

Click OK.
Symantec pcAnywhere automatically secures logon information by using
symmetric encryption to encrypt the user ID and password. You can configure
the logon process to protect the host computer from unauthorized access and
denial of service.
See "Using encryption to protect data"
Note: Logon information might not be encrypted if either the host or remote is
running a previous version of pcAnywhere that is not configured to use symmetric
encryption.
