Updating a virtual server for forward proxy chaining with APM

For Access Policy Manager (APM) to support forward proxy chaining, you must specify an HTTP proxy connect profile on the virtual server that processes SSL traffic in the forward proxy configuration.

Important: If this virtual server functions as a captive portal or processes HTTP traffic, you must retain the default value of None for the HTTP Proxy Connect Profile setting.

  1. On the Main tab, click Local Traffic > Virtual Servers.

    The Virtual Server List screen opens.

  2. Click the name of the virtual server you want to modify.

  3. In the Configuration area from HTTP Proxy Connect Profile, select a profile that you know to be configured with the Default State setting disabled.

  4. Click Update to save the changes.
