Hello DD, Good questions. 

Hello DD,

Good questions.  You are correct - SWG 4.5 is the enhanced version of the formerly Mi5 Networks Appliances.  The new SWG-8450 and SWG-8490 are most comperable to the Mi5 Webgate 005 and Mi5 Webgate 009, however a direct comparison cannot be made with previous appliances due to generational differences in hardware components.

Content Filtering Evaluation order

Using AD usernames and workgroups.... and creating different configuration policies for content filtering.  Is there an evaluation order to allow or block access to categories if an user belong to multiple Organizational Units or workgroups and each group has a different policy ??

Example : 

Policy # 1 - Apply to workgroup HR - All Content Filtering categories Allowed
Policy # 2 - Apply to workgroup Managers - All categories are blocked

What is the behavior for an user member of the HR and Managers groups ??

Is the evaluation order only for malware detection ??

Thanks

Is there any way to allow the downloading of file extensions blocked in the Blacklists entry list for any specific username, group or organizational unit ??

Thanks

Drill Down Reports

Is there any way to see the detailed URL accesed by any user ??

The drill down reports end with info like : google.com as the visited site. 

Any configuration allow us to see the full URL ??   something like :

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=beretta+9mm&aq=3&oq=berett&aqi=g10

Thanks

I realize this is a pretty old post, but since I've finally gotten a chance to put hands on one of these gateway's I thought I'd pass along my findings:

The full URL is available but only when viewing the Custom Reports link.  You just need to go in and change the columns to display the Requested URL or File and you get results like:
 EICAR Test String  Virus   Virus Critical  Blocked   2          testwebgateway.com             testwebgateway.com/test/eicar_com.zip /eicar.com

Gateway 360R Load Balancing Having Trouble with Secure Site

I am supporting an agency that has installed a Gateway 360R.  When they enable loadbalancing they start to drop our secure connection.  We know from past experiance that devices that do not have the ability to loadbalance by session or IP have this problem, and Symantec mentions this issue in Document ID: 2004120610281454.  The device has the latest firmware, are there any current solutions to this issue?

Gateway 360R

msco9,

The Symantec Gateway 360R is a different product than the Symantec Web Gateway which is covered in this forum.  Please contact Support directly for assistance: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/contact_t...
