Proxies and caching<br />

Common proxy settings<br />

HTTP Proxy<br />

Settings for the appliance when running as a proxy under HTTP<br />

This protocol is used for transferring web pages and other data (providing SSL-encryption for enhanced<br />

security).<br />

Enable HTTP proxy — When selected, the appliance runs as a proxy under the HTTP protocol<br />

HTTP Port Definition list — List of ports on the appliance that listen to client requests<br />

The following table describes the list entries. For information on maintaining a list of this type, see<br />

Inline lists.<br />

Table 3-9 HTTP Port Definition list<br />

Option Definition<br />

Listener address Local IP address of the appliance running as an HTTP proxy and port for listening to client<br />

requests<br />

Serve transparent When selected, the HTTP proxy processes also client requests sent in transparent mode<br />

requests<br />

Ports treated as SSL Ports on destination servers indicating to the HTTP proxy that requests with these numbers<br />

are SSL-secured<br />

Note: It can be necessary to specify these numbers when the appliance processes<br />

requests in transparent mode since there is then no CONNECT header to indicate a request<br />

is SSL-secured.<br />

Transparent common<br />

name handling for<br />

proxy requests<br />

uses passive FTP over<br />

HTTP connections<br />

Anonymous login for FTP over HTTP — User name for logging on as an anonymous user when<br />

requests are transmitted to an FTP server by the appliance running as an HTTP proxy<br />

Password for anonymous login for FTP over HTTP — Password for the above user name<br />

54 <strong>McAfee</strong> <strong>Web</strong> <strong>Gateway</strong> <strong>7.1.5</strong> <strong>Product</strong> <strong>Guide</strong><br />

When selected, the HTTP proxy does not use the destination IP address of a request to<br />

create a common name for the certificate it issues<br />

Instead, it copies the common name of the certificate that the destination server delivered.<br />

This might cause a problem if there is a common name mismatch in this certificate.<br />

When selected, the HTTP proxy uses connections in passive mode for transmitting requests<br />

to an FTP server<br />

Note: The passive mode might be required for the data connection (used under FTP in<br />

addition to the control connection). In some cases, an FTP server is not allowed to use the<br />

data connection in active mode, for example, when a firewall rule enforces this in a<br />

company network.<br />
