2. Introduction

This tutorial helps you to configure Application-level Gateway to analyze HTTP(S) traffic in various scenarios. For filtering viruses in HTTP traffic with PNS, you must configure an HttpProxy proxy and a CF module. Generally, the settings of the virus filter do not affect the HTTP traffic: the Application-level Gateway HTTP proxy checks the HTTP protocol and then passes the data part to the CF stacking provider, and has no knowledge about what CF will do with the data.

Note that explaining the concepts of the different aspects of SSL/TLS and HTTP proxying is beyond the scope of this tutorial. For background information, see the following documents:

For details on deriving and modifying proxies, see Section 6.6, Proxy classes in Proxedo Network Security Suite 1.0 Administrator Guide.
For details on configuring CF, see Chapter 14, Virus and content filtering using CF in Proxedo Network Security Suite 1.0 Administrator Guide.
For details on configuring PNS proxies to handle SSL/TLS connections, see How to configure SSL proxying in PNS 1.0.
For an overview on certificates and related topics in connection with PNS, see Chapter 11, Key and certificate management in PNS in Proxedo Network Security Suite 1.0 Administrator Guide.
For details on the available attributes of the PNS HTTP proxy that you can adjust and modify to best suit your needs, see Section 4.7, Module Http in Proxedo Network Security Suite 1.0 Reference Guide
