MuseGlobal unveils new authentication feature

Publication: Information Today
Date:Thursday, May 1 2003

MuseGlobal, Inc. announced the addition of a new authentication option to MuseSearch. According to the announcement, this feature will provide more flexible alternatives for retrieving data from subscription-based HTTP sources.

Peter Noerr, MuseGlobal's chief technology officer, said: "This new component is a `rewriting proxy' and offers an alternative solution that eliminates the need to configure individual browsers, further reducing the burden on system administrators."

According to the announcement, MuseGlobal simplifies administration by including the Muse Proxy Server with this rewriting filter component. The user's search is sent to MuseSearch and is performed as usual. Returned results have their links automatically rewritten so they include the Muse proxy in the loop when retrieving the full text of documents. In this way, authentication is maintained and the user is not required to individually log on to the content-provider servers.
