ProxySG & Advanced Secure Gateway

I've found some old CPL in one of my policies, and need to understand it better.

it's labeled "Akamai Chunking - KB3817", and commented "Policy used to disable authentication for Akamai user agents"

It says :

<Proxy>
    request.header.User-Agent="^Akamai*" authenticate(no)
; Policy to disable http client and server persistence and protocol detection when Akamai user agent is found.
<proxy>
request.header.User-Agent = '^Akamai*' http.client.persistence(no) http.server.persistence(no) detect_protocol(no) Allow
; Policy to disable caching, pipelining and to use HTTP 1.0 instead of 1.1
<cache>
request.header.User-Agent = '^Akamai*' cache(no) pipeline(no) http.request.version(1.0)

Searches for KB3817 and 'Akamai user agent' are dead-ends.

I suspect it's historical junk, but want to be confident before I delete it.

Can anybody shed any light on whether this CPL is still relevant?

Thanks!

Hi Ferwerda,

            Saw your other post too. I have not seen this in production for sometime now. May be added to your boxes when Akamai agents were being troubleshooted for some issues. The 3 polices combined to for the Magic rule we add for testing access issues. All these 3 are not required to fix the issue. I will say, to remove this and test the access for any Akamai based links for problem. If none found, make the removal permanent.

Thanks Aravind,

I will delete and test as you recommend.

Much appreciate your feedback.
