Appendix A: Glossary

A
access control list	Allows or denies specific IP addresses access to a server.
access log	A list of all the requests sent to an appliance. You can read an access log using any of
	the popular log-reporting programs. When a client uses HTTP streaming, the
	streaming entry goes to the same access log.
account	A named entity that has purchased the appliance or the Entitlements from Blue Coat.
activation code	A string of approximately 10 characters that is generated and mailed to customers
	when they purchase the appliance.
active content stripping	Provides a way to identify potentially dangerous mobile or active content and
	scripts, and strip them out of a response.
active content types	Used in the Visual Policy Manager. Referring to Web Access policies, you can create
	and name lists of active content types to be stripped from Web pages. You have the
	additional option of specifying a customized message to be displayed to the user
administration access policy	A policy layer that determines who can access the SG appliance to perform
	administrative tasks.
administration	A policy layer that determines how administrators accessing the SG appliance must
authentication policy	authenticate.
Application Delivery	A WAN that has been optimized for acceleration and compression by Blue Coat. This
Network (ADN)	network can also be secured through the use of appliance certificates. An ADN
	network is composed of an ADN manager and backup ADN manager, ADN nodes,
	and a network configuration that matches the environment.
ADN backup manager	Takes over for the ADN manager in the event it becomes unavailable. See ADN
	manager.
ADN manager	Responsible for publishing the routing table to SG Clients (and to other SG
	appliances).
ADN optimize attribute	Controls whether to optimize bandwidth usage when connecting upstream using an
	ADN tunnel.
asx rewrite	Allows you to rewrite URLs and then direct a client's subsequent request to the new
	URL. One of the main applications of ASX file rewrites is to provide explicit proxy-
	like support for Windows Media Player 6.4, which cannot set explicit proxy mode for
	protocols other than HTTP.
audit	A log that provides a record of who accessed what and how.
