Chapter 17 Applying Filtering Services
Filtering with an External Server
General Procedure
The following steps summarize the procedure for enabling filtering with an external filtering server. To
enable filtering with an external filtering server, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Identify the filtering server. Refer to the following section:
Identifying the Filtering Server, page 17-5
Step 2 (Optional) Buffer responses from the content server. Refer to the following section:
Buffering the Content Server Response, page 17-6
Step 3 (Optional) Cache content server addresses to improve performance. Refer to the following section:
Caching Server Addresses, page 17-7
Step 4 Configure HTTP filtering and the different options available. Refer to the following section:
Configuring HTTP Filtering, page 17-7
Step 5 Configure HTTPS filtering (Websense only). Refer to the following section:
Filtering HTTPS URLs, page 17-8
Step 6 Configure FTP filtering (Websense only). Refer to the following section:
Filtering FTP Requests, page 17-9
Step 7 Configure the external filtering server. Refer to the following websites:
• http://www.websense.com
• http://www.n2h2.com
Identifying the Filtering Server
You can identify up to four filtering servers per context. The security appliance uses the servers in order
until a server responds. You can only configure a single type of server (Websense or N2H2) in your
configuration.
Note You must add the filtering server before you can configure filtering for HTTP or HTTPS with the filter
command. If you remove the filtering servers from the configuration, then all filter commands are also
removed.
Identify the address of the filtering server using the url-server command:
For Websense:
hostname(config)# url-server [
if_name
] host
local_ip
[timeout
seconds
] [protocol TCP | UDP
version 1|4]
For N2H2:
hostname(config)# url-server [
if_name
] vendor n2h2 host
local_ip
[:port
number
] [timeout
seconds
] [protocol TCP | UDP]
