Basic chaining

In this case, Blue Coat ProxySG forwards requests to the cloud proxy but performs no authentication. End users can be authenticated using manual authentication only: prompting users for a user name and password the first time they access the Internet through a browser.

Use the Blue Coat Management Console to forward requests to the cloud proxy as follows:
  1. In the Blue Coat Management Console Configuration tab, select Forwarding > Forwarding Hosts.
  2. Select Install from Text Editor from the drop-down, and then click Install.
  3. Update the Forwarding Hosts configuration file to point an alias name to webdefence.global.blackspider.com, port 8081. For example, if you choose the alias name Forcepoint_Proxy, enter the following at the end of the “Forwarding host configuration” section:
    fwd_host Forcepoint_Proxy webdefence.global.blackspider.com 
http=8081
  4. Add the following to the end of the ‘Default fail-over sequence’ section:
    sequence alias name

    replacing alias name with the alias name that you chose in step 3.

  5. When you have finished editing, click Install.
  6. In the Blue Coat Management Console Configuration tab, click Policy and select Visual Policy Manager. Click Launch.
  7. In the Policy menu, select Add Forwarding Layer and enter an appropriate policy name in the Add New Layer dialog box.
  8. Select the Forwarding Layer tab that is created. The Source, Destination, and Service column entries should be Any (the default).
  9. Right-click the area in the Action column, and select Set.
  10. Select the alias name that you created (for example, Forcepoint_Proxy) from the list, and click OK.
  11. Right-click the alias name in the Action column and select Edit.
  12. Choose the forwarding behavior if your Blue Coat proxy cannot contact the cloud proxy: either to connect directly, or to refuse the browser request.
  13. Click OK.
  14. Click Install Policy in the Blue Coat Visual Policy Manager.
