Reorder, edit or delete Web Proxy authentication policies

You can edit, switch off or delete your Web Proxy authentication policies from Web Proxy > Authentication > Manage policies.

Each Web Proxy authentication policy is grouped under a folder with specific Interface and Port configurations.

Reorder Web Proxy authentication policies

Because each folder has a different Interface and Port configuration, reordering your folders won’t have any effect.

Smoothwall applies policies to the Interface and Port configuration from top to bottom. You can reorder policies within a folder in two ways:

• Drag the policy to its new position.
• Select the policy, then select Up or Down to move it to its new position, then select Save.

Then select Restart proxy to apply the changes.
