Cisco Cisco Web Security Appliance S670 Mode D'Emploi

In Application Type listings, the summary for each Application Type lists the final actions for its 
applications, but does not indicate whether these actions are inherited from the global policy or 
configured in the current Access Policy. To learn more about the action for a particular application, 
expand the application type.

In the Global Access Policy, you can set the default action for each Application Type, so new 
applications introduced in an AVC engine update automatically inherit the default action.

You can quickly configure the same action for all applications in an application type by clicking the 
“edit all” link for the Application Type in Browse view. However, you can only configure the 
application action, not application behavior actions. To configure application behaviors, you must 
edit the application individually.

In Search view, when you sort the table by the action column, the sort order is by the final action. 
For example, “Use Global (Block)” comes after “Block” in the sort order.

Decryption may cause some applications to fail unless the root certificate for signing is installed on 
the client.

Choose Web Security Manager > Access Policies.

Click the link in the Policies table under the Applications column for the policy group you want to edit.

When configuring the Global Access Policy:

Define the default action for each Application Type in the Default Actions for Application 
Types section. 

You can edit the default actions for each Application Type’s individual members, as a group or 
individually, in the Edit Applications Settings section of the page. Editing the default action for 
individual applications is described in the following steps.

When configuring a user defined Access Policy, choose Define Applications Custom Settings in the 
Edit Applications Settings section.

In the Application Settings area, choose Browse view or Search view from the drop-down menu:

Browse view. You can browse Application Types. You can use Browse view to configure all 
applications of a particular type at the same time. When an Application Type is collapsed in Browse 
view, the summary for the Application Type lists the final actions for its applications; however it 
does not indicate whether the actions are inherited from the global policy, or configured in the 
current Access Policy. 

Search view. You can search for applications by name. You might use Search view when the total 
list of applications is long and you need to quickly find and configure a particular application. 

Configure the action for each application and application behavior. 

Configure the bandwidth controls for each applicable application.
