To set authentication credentials for a reverse proxy server

1. On the reverse proxy server, run the following script. In this script, password is the password and user_name is the user name you want to use to authenticate the origin server:

   Dim server
   Set server = CreateObject("WMSserver.Server")
   Dim pp1
   Set pp1 = server.PublishingPoints.Item("Cache/Proxy Broadcast")
   pp1.DistributionPassword = "password"
   pp1.DistributionUserName = "user_name"
   
   

2. On the origin server, configure the appropriate authentication plug-in to accept these values.
