Cisco Cisco Web Security Appliance S170 사용자 가이드

The Web Security appliance provides the means to create policies to define access to the web by the 
client application (user agent), such as a web browser, making the client request. You can define policy 
group membership based on user agents, and you can specify control settings based on user agents.

You might want to specify user agents to accomplish the following tasks:

You can exempt certain user agents from authentication. You might want to do this for client 
applications that cannot handle prompting users for authentication credentials. For more 
information about how to do this, see 

.

You can block access from particular user agents that you define.

You can configure user agents in the following locations:

Policy group membership for all policy types, including Identities.

Application control settings for Access Policies.

When the appliance is deployed in transparent mode, user agent information is not available for 
Decryption Policies.

When you define policy group membership for any policy type, you can expand the Advanced section 
to define membership by additional criteria, such as user agent. When you click the User Agents link, 
the Membership by User Agent page appears allowing you to define membership by user agent.
