Web appliance deployment

moramoga

Hello everyone,

I need to configure a Web Appliance soon. In the meanwhile I have been reading about the deployment options: Explicit, Tramsparent and Bridge. Which one of those will you recommend and why? Is it only compatible with mozilla and IE, or is also Chrome compatible? I heard only explicit mode is compatible with Active Directory which is a big plus. I will appreciate your input, thanks!

    I can give a few thoughts regarding our deployment about a year ago.

    We use the explicity deployment with a proxy.pac file on one of our internal servers.

    -If you have users who are going to have laptops that you want filtered while they are at work, and not filtered when they go home this can make a difference on what you decide.  For this we use a proxy.pac file, so that we can explicitly filter our users while at work, but also allow them to use their laptops on their home networks.

    -If you decide to do bridged mode, or essentially a cable force-through you will create a single point of failuer, which isnt reccommended. Also, depending on what applications you use, some odd ones will not play nice with the gateway, so having a method to bypass the gateway altogether is nice in those situations, especially for troubleshooting.

    -We don't use Chrome, but I have tested it and it worked fine with our appliance.
