To enable working in transparent mode: In the Vital Security Management Console, navigate to Administration System Settings Finjan Devices Scanning Server. In the selected Scanning Server, choose the General node. Click Edit and select the Enable Transparent Proxy Mode. Define the ports to be used for the scanned traffic.
S e t u p a n d C o n f i g u r a t i o n G u i d e Figure 3-73: Transparent Proxy 9 Working with HTTP In order for browsers or other appliances to be protected by Vital Security, the Vital Security must be configured as the Proxy Server.
S e t u p a n d C o n f i g u r a t i o n G u i d e Every request is scanned with the latest security updates, even if the content was cached before the last update.
S e t u p a n d C o n f i g u r a t i o n G u i d e 10.1 Why work with ICAP? One of the reasons is that if you are working with a caching proxy that supports the ICAP protocol, you can achieve significant performance benefits from configuring Vital Security as an ICAP server rather than an HTTP proxy.
S e t u p a n d C o n f i g u r a t i o n G u i d e icap://192.168.2.153:1344/Finjan_REQMOD NOTE: When working with RESPMOD, REQMOD must be enabled. Vital Security can also work in REQMOD only, for example, for performing URL filtering, but in this case, the actual incoming content is not scanned.
