Creating SSL Proxy Policy Intents

You can configure an SSL proxy policy intent inline on the SSL Proxy Policy page. An SSL proxy policy intent enables you to configure an SSL proxy between source and destination endpoints by associating the latter with an SSL proxy profile.

To create an SSL proxy policy intent:

  1. Select Configuration > SSL Proxy > Policy in Customer Portal.

    The SSL Proxy Policy page appears.

  2. Click the add icon (+).

    The options to create policy intents appear inline on the SSL Proxy Policy page.

  3. Enter the policy intent information according to the guidelines provided in Table 1
  4. Click Save.

    The SSL proxy policy intent is saved and a confirmation message is displayed.

    Note:

    After the policy intent is created, you must deploy the policy to ensure that the changes take effect on the applicable sites. When an SSL proxy policy intent is created, the Undeployed field is incremented by one indicating that intents are pending deployment.

Source

A source endpoint can be an IP address, an IP address group, a site, a site group, or a department, or or a combination of these.

Note:

A source IP address value of Any signifies any IP address from any site.

Specify one or more source endpoints in one of the following ways:

  • Click the add icon (+) and select the endpoints from the list of previously configured endpoints.

  • Filter the endpoints by entering a search term or one or more predefined keywords in the Source field and select one or more endpoints.

    Table 2 displays the list of predefined keywords.

  • Click the View more results link to view additional configured endpoints. The list of endpoints is displayed in the End Points panel on the right.

    Do one of the following:

    • To add one endpoint at a time, select an endpoint and click the check mark icon () that appears when you hover over the endpoint.

    • To add multiple endpoints, select one or more endpoints that you want to add, click the check mark icon () at the top of the End Points panel, and select Source.

Destination

A destination endpoint can be an IP address, an IP address group, a site, a site group, or a department, or or a combination of these.

Note:

A destination IP address value of Any signifies traffic going to the Internet (any address). Traffic within sites (internal traffic) is not covered by the destination IP address value of Any.

If you want to cover traffic between two sites, ensure that the sites are included in both the source and destination endpoints.

Specify one or more destination endpoints in one of the following ways:

  • Click the add icon (+) and select the endpoints from the list of previously configured endpoints.

  • Filter the endpoints by entering a search term or one or more predefined keywords in the Destination field and select one or more endpoints.

    • To add multiple endpoints, select one or more endpoints that you want to add, click the check mark icon () at the top of the End Points panel, and select Destination.

    • Filter the endpoints by entering a search term or one or more predefined keywords in the End Points field and select one or more endpoints.

      Table 2 displays the list of predefined keywords.
