Deleting user alone in the forwarder proxy #215

Closed Sandy1701 closed 1 year ago

Sandy1701 commented 1 year ago
  1. I need to delete the user in proxy forwarder is there any way to do it without deleting the entire context.?
  2. And also can we add multiple user to the same context in the proxy forwarder.

Hi @Sandy1701 - on these:

  1. No there isn't. Deleting a user in the proxy forwarder would have the effect of disabling the entire proxy, as there is no way for user authentication on the remote target to succeed. This produces the same effective result as deleting the entire proxy (i.e. the proxy no longer works) - which is the supported method of disabling the proxy. So just delete the proxy to achieve that result.
  2. No you can't - there is a one-to-one relationship between a proxy's context and the user in the proxy. Or, in other words, a context selects exactly one target (technically transport/target/port combination), and selects exactly one user for authentication on that target. This is intentional, to avoid having to introduce an additional user-selection mechanism that would add unnecessary and unwanted complexity to the design.
