Description
New Features
Cloud Web 
Security 
Connector
This release introduces a new configuration mode, which allows you to connect to 
and direct traffic to Cisco Cloud Web Security for policy enforcement and threat 
defense. 
Cloud Web Security Connector mode is available through the Cisco Web Security 
Virtual Appliance as well as the physical Web Security appliance.
Documentation for the Cloud Connector is in Chapter 3 of the User Guide, 
“Connect the Appliance to a Cloud Web Security Tower.” To put the Web Security 
appliance in Cloud Connector mode, begin with “Configuring the Cloud 
Connector.”
Note
Kerberos authentication and IPv6 addresses are not supported in Cloud 
Connector mode.
Note
After upgrading to this release, if you plan to use the appliance in Cloud 
Connector mode, do not put the appliance into Standard mode using the 
System Setup Wizard. Put the appliance directly into Cloud Connector 
mode. 
Kerberos 
Authentication
Kerberos is a “pass through” authentication protocol for Windows, Mac OS X, and 
other operating systems. Due to many operating systems today that no longer 
support NTLM or NTLM SSO, Kerberos has become a very popular authentication 
protocol. This feature supports Kerberos Version 5 (MS KRB5 and KRB5), and AD 
servers such as 2003, 2008, 2008R2, and 2012. We also support the following 
Internet browsers : IE, Chrome, Firefox and Safari.
Note
Active Directory realms created prior to this release will not have the 
Kerberos scheme available.
