Step 1: 

From a client machine, browse to 

. If a message is displayed, “User is not 

currently using the service,” then the traffic is not redirected to the Cisco cloud. This can be useful in 
determining if the user is being resolved correctly, any groups being discovered, the internal/external IP of 
the user/location, and what Connector is in use. 

This is an example of a successful 

 output:

From a client machine, browse to 

 and enter a URL to see how the web 

request is processed against the current web filtering policy. 

With SearchAhead enabled in ScanCenter (the CWS admin portal), browse to Google, Bing, or 

Yahoo and search for something.  The SearchAhead data should be prepended to each search result in 
the form of a green, yellow, or red dot.  Mouse over the dot to see what information is contained within.
