Appendix A: Glossary

issuer keyring

The keyring used by the SG appliance to sign emulated certificates. The keyring is

 

configured on the appliance and managed through policy.

L

 

licensable component (LC)

(Software) A subcomponent of a license; it is an option that enables or disables a

 

specific feature.

license

Provides both the right and the ability to use certain software functions within an AV

 

(or SG) appliance. The license key defines and controls the license, which is owned

 

by an account.

listener

The service that is listening on a specific port. A listener can be identified by any

 

destination IP/subnet and port range. Multiple listeners can be added to each

 

service.

live content

Also called live broadcast. Used in streaming, it indicates that the content is being

 

delivered fresh.

LKF

License key file.

load balancing

A way to share traffic requests among multiple upstream systems or multiple IP

 

addresses on a single host.

local bypass list

A list you create and maintain on your network. You can use a local bypass list alone

 

or in conjunction with a central bypass list. See bypass list.

local policy file

Written by enterprises (as opposed to the central policy file written by Blue Coat);

 

used to create company- and department-specific advanced policies written in the

 

Blue Coat Policy Language (CPL).

log facility

A separate log that contains a single logical file and supports a single log format. It

 

also contains the file’s configuration and upload schedule information as well as

 

other configurable information such as how often to rotate (switch to a new log) the

 

logs at the destination, any passwords needed, and the point at which the facility can

 

be uploaded.

log format

The type of log that is used: NCSA/Common, SQUID, ELFF, SurfControl, or

 

Websense.

 

The proprietary log types each have a corresponding pre-defined log format that has

 

been set up to produce exactly that type of log (these logs cannot be edited). In

 

addition, a number of other ELFF type log formats are also pre-defined (im, main,

 

p2p, ssl, streaming). These can be edited, but they start out with a useful set of log

 

fields for logging particular protocols understood by the SG appliance. It is also

 

possible to create new log formats of type ELFF or Custom which can contain any

 

desired combination of log fields.

log tail

The access log tail shows the log entries as they get logged. With high traffic on the

 

SG appliance, not all access log entries are necessarily displayed. However, you can

 

view all access log information after uploading the log.
