To access the web interface, your browser must support and be enabled to accept JavaScript and cookies.
It must be able to render HTML pages containing Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).

The Cisco Web Security Appliance follows the Target Environments set by YUI:

Your session automatically times out after 30 minutes of inactivity.

Some buttons and links in the web interface cause additional windows to open. Therefore, you may need
to configure the browser’s pop-up blocking settings in order to use the web interface.

Note

Only use one browser window or tab at a time to edit the appliance configuration. Also, do not edit the
appliance using the web interface and the CLI at the same time. Editing the appliance from multiple
places concurrently results in unexpected behavior and is not supported.

Accessing the Appliance Web Interface

Step 1

Open a browser and enter the IP address (or hostname) of the Web Security appliance. If the appliance
has not been previously configured, use the default settings:

https://192.168.42.42:8443

Range Request Forwarding

You can now control how incoming range requests are handled, on a
per-policy basis.

Recent log-in information

You can now view a listing of recent appliance access attempts, both
successes and failures, for your user name. When logging in via the CLI,
this information is displayed automatically on log-in. In the Web
interface, click the recent-activity (i or ! for success or failure icon
respectively) in front of the “Logged in as” entry in the upper right
corner of the application window.
