Enabling Features to Publish

Enable the features for which you want to publish settings using a Configuration Master.

Before you begin

Determine which features must be enabled and disabled. See Comparing Enabled Features.

Procedure

Step 1

On the Security Management appliance, choose Web > Utilities > Security Services Display.

Step 2

Click Edit Settings.

The Edit Security Services Display page lists the features that appear in each Configuration Master.

“N/A” alongside a feature indicates that the feature is not available in that Configuration Master version.

Note
Web Proxy is not listed as a feature, because it is assumed that the Web Proxy is enabled in order to execute any of the managed policy types on the Web Security appliances. If the Web Proxy is disabled, any policies published to the Web Security appliances will be ignored.

Step 3

(Optional) Hide Configuration Masters that you will not use. For instructions and cautions, see Disabling Unused Configuration Masters .

Step 4

For each Configuration Master that you will use, select or uncheck the Yes check box for each feature to enable.

Special notes for certain features (available options vary by Configuration Master version):

  • Transparent Mode. If you use Forward mode, the proxy bypass feature will not be available.
  • HTTPS Proxy. HTTPS proxy must be enabled in order to configure decryption policies.
  • Upstream Proxy Groups. Upstream proxy groups must be available on your Web Security appliances if you want to use routing policies.

Step 5

Click Submit. The GUI displays specific warning messages if the changes you made to the security services settings will affect policies configured on your Web Security appliances. If you are sure that you want to submit your changes, click Continue.

Step 6

On the Security Services Display page, confirm that Yes appears alongside each option that you selected.

Step 7

Commit your changes.

What to do next

  • Verify that all features are now correctly enabled or disabled for the appliance to which you will publish. See Comparing Enabled Features.
  • On each Web Security appliance to which you will publish, make sure the features are enabled consistently with the features you have enabled for the Configuration Master.
