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!

    Hi Sergio,

    Sounds like a good plan.  The choice will largely depend on how many devices they have, and whether the devices are just PCs on the domain or not. 

    Proxy.pac is only really useful if you need lots of control over load-balancing / failover, or using different proxies for different sites.  For a smaller deployment it would probably be better just to set up normal proxy settings in IE.

    More information on configuring browsers is here:

    Either way, the best way to distribute a proxy.pac, or normal proxy settings would be AD / group policy.  This KB also links to a quick example on how to set up proxy settings via group policy.  If all clients are PCs on the domain this should be a fairly simple process. 

    Best of luck!

    Tom.
