Help | Content Gateway | Version 7.7.3
If you have an existing PAC file, replace the proxy.pac file located in the Content Gateway config directory (default location is /opt/WCG/config) with the existing file. If you do not have a PAC file already, see Step 4 below for a script you can copy.
1.
On the Configure > My Proxy  > Basic > General tab, ensure that HTTPS is enabled. If it is disabled, set it to On, click Apply, and Restart Content Gateway.
2.
Navigate to Configure > Content Routing > Browser Auto-Config > PAC.
3.
In the Auto-Configuration Port field, specify the port that the proxy uses to serve the PAC file. The default port is 8083.
4.
The PAC Settings area displays the proxy.pac file:
*
If you copied an existing PAC file into the Content Gateway config directory, the proxy.pac file contains your proxy configuration settings. Check the settings and make changes if necessary.
*
If you did not copy an existing PAC file into the Content Gateway config directory, the proxy.pac file is empty. Copy and paste the following script for your PAC settings. You must provide the proxy domain name or IP address. This template is for basic testing only. Further modify this file to meet all of your organization's needs.
function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
url = url.toLowerCase();
host = host.toLowerCase();
if(url.substring(0, 5) == "http:"){
return "PROXY WCG_DOMAIN_NAME_or_IP_Address:8080";
}
else if(url.substring(0, 4) == "ftp:"){
return "PROXY WCG_DOMAIN_NAME_or_IP_Address:2121";
}
else if(url.substring(0, 6) == "https:"){
return "PROXY WCG_DOMAIN_NAME_or_IP_Address:8080";
}
else{
return "DIRECT";
}
}
5.
Click Apply.
6.
Click Restart on Configure > My Proxy > Basic > General.
Once the new PAC information is in place, you must inform your users to set their browsers to point to the PAC file. For example, if the PAC file is located on the proxy server with the hostname proxy1 and Content Gateway uses the default port 8083 to serve the file, users must specify the following URL in the proxy configuration settings:
http://proxy1.company.com:8083/proxy.pac
The procedures for specifying the PAC file location vary among browsers.
For Microsoft Internet Explorer version 7.0 and later:
1.
Navigate to Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings.
2.
Select Use automatic configuration script field, and enter
http://WCG_Domain_Name_or_IP_Address:8083/proxy.pac
in the Address field.
3.
Click OK.
For Mozilla Firefox 2.0 and later:
1.
Navigate to Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Connection > Settings.
2.
Select Automatic proxy configuration URL field, and enter
http://WCG_Domain_Name_or_IP_Address:8083/proxy.pac
3.
Click Reload, and then click OK.
See your browser documentation for details.
