Define HTTPS Ports

If you are using an SSL connection to the web server (HTTPS) to keep your requests more secure, specify the HTTPS port numbers with the following parameter:

HttpsPorts

Specifies the secure ports the Web Agent listens on if you are using an SSL connection to the web server. If you specify a value for this parameter, you must include all the ports for all the web servers that serve secure requests. If you do not specify a value, the Web Agent reads the HTTP scheme from the web server's context.

If a server is behind an HTTPS accelerator (which converts HTTPS to HTTP), the requests are treated as SSL connections by your browser.

Default: Empty

Example: 443

Example: (multiple ports) 443,7002

To define your HTTPS ports, set the value of the HttpsPorts parameter to the port numbers that use SSL. Use commas to separate multiple port numbers.

Decode Query Data in a URL

To have the Web Agent’s Base64 algorithm decode a URL’s query data before calling the Policy Server (so the Policy Server sees the proper resource), use the following parameter:

DecodeQueryData

Specifies whether the Web Agent decodes the query data in a URL before calling the Policy Server. Set this parameter to yes if you need do any of the following tasks in your environment:

• If you need to ensure the rules filer acts against the proper string.
• If you need to or write rules against the data in a query string.

Default: No

To have the Web Agent decode the query data in a URL before calling the Policy Server, set the value of the DecodeQueryData parameter to yes.
