Using a PAC file with Web Security Gateway
PAC File Best Practices | Web Security Gateway (Anywhere) | Version 7.x
Content Gateway is the on-premises web proxy component of the Web Security Gateway and Web Security Gateway Anywhere solutions.
For smaller enterprises where the user load requires only a single proxy, the Content Gateway host system may also host the PAC file. For larger enterprises that require more scale, the PAC file should be hosted on an existing (dedicated) web server that all of the client machines can access.
The Content Gateway manager provides a UI page for specifying and maintaining a PAC or WPAD file. In the Content Gateway manager, go to Configure > Content Routing > Browser Auto-Config > PAC.
For step-by-step instructions, see Using a PAC file.
If you have enabled SSL support to inspect HTTPS traffic as it transits Content Gateway, see Running in explicit proxy mode.
 
* 
Important 
If you have configured Content Gateway to use Integrated Windows Authentication to perform user authentication, you must specify the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the proxy whenever a request is directed to the proxy in the PAC file. For example:
wgc1.example.com:8080
