Using a PAC file with TRITON AP-WEB and the Web Hybrid module
PAC File Best Practices | TRITON AP-WEB and Web Hybrid Module | Version 8.x
TRITON AP-WEB with the Web Hybrid module combines on-premises and hybrid (in-the-cloud) protection as needed. Typically, the on-premises software provides web protection for the main office or campus, while smaller regional offices or satellite locations send their Internet requests through the Web Hybrid module. The hybrid service is also useful for users who are off-network, such as telecommuters and those who travel for business.
In the Web Hybrid solution, the PAC file used to enable hybrid protection contains a number of global settings, and also allows you to configure sites that users can access directly without sending the request to the hybrid service (for example, intranet sites or organizational web mail).
All users are configured with a single PAC file. This PAC file applies whether the user is inside the network or outside the network. A common PAC file definition will direct users to the on-premises Content Gateway when they are inside the network, and to the hybrid service when they are outside the network. However, other configurations are possible.
For complete information on configuring the Web Hybrid Module, including information about customizing the PAC file, see Configure the Hybrid Service and the sections it links to.
