Volume 9: Managing the Blue Coat SG Appliance

parent class (bandwidth

A class with at least one child. The parent class must share its bandwidth with its

gain)

child classes in proportion to the minimum/maximum bandwidth values or priority

 

levels.

passive mode data

Data connections initiated by an FTP client to an FTP server.

connections (PASV)

 

pipelining

See object pipelining.

policies

Groups of rules that let you manage Web access specific to the needs of an enterprise.

 

Policies enhance SG appliance feature areas such as authentication and virus

 

scanning, and let you control end-user Web access in your existing infrastructure.

 

See also refresh policies.

policy-based bypass list

Used in policy. Allows a bypass based on the properties of the client, unlike static and

 

dynamic bypass lists, which allow traffic to bypass the appliance based on

 

destination IP address. See also bypass lists and dynamic bypass.

policy layer

A collection of rules created using Blue Coat CPL or with the VPM.

pragma: no cache (PNC)

A metatag in the header of a request that requires the appliance to forward a request

 

to the origin server. This allows clients to always obtain a fresh copy (of the request?).

proxy

Caches content, filters traffic, monitors Internet and intranet resource usage, blocks

 

specific Internet and intranet resources for individuals or groups, and enhances the

 

quality of Internet or intranet user experiences.

 

A proxy can also serve as an intermediary between a Web client and a Web server

 

and can require authentication to allow identity based policy and logging for the

 

client.

 

The rules used to authenticate a client are based on the policies you create on the SG

 

appliance, which can reference an existing security infrastructure—LDAP, RADIUS,

 

IWA, and the like.

Proxy Edition

SGOS 5 Proxy Edition.

proxy service

The proxy service defines the ports, as well as other attributes. that are used by the

 

proxies associated with the service.

proxy service (default)

The default proxy service is a service that intercepts all traffic not otherwise

 

intercepted by other listeners. It only has one listener whose action can be set to

 

bypass or intercept. No new listeners can be added to the default proxy service, and

 

the default listener and service cannot be deleted. Service attributes can be changed.

public key certificate

An electronic document that encapsulates the public key of the certificate sender,

 

identifies this sender, and aids the certificate receiver to verify the identity of the

 

certificate sender. A certificate is often considered valid if it has been digitally signed

 

by a well-known entity, which is called a Certificate Authority (such as VeriSign).

public virtual IP (VIP)

Maps multiple servers to one IP address and then propagates that information to the

 

public DNS servers. Typically, there is a public VIP known to the public Internet that

 

routes the packets internally to the private VIP. This enables you to “hide” your

 

servers from the Internet.
