Policy Profile

The policy profile consists of multiple rules, with each rule having a decrypt or no-decrypt action for the match condition. For example, there might be a policy to decrypt all but financial-related traffic.

In addition to the rules, the profile also consists of various configuration options that affect the decryption decision as follows:

■   The default action to take if none of the rules match.
■   The URL cache miss action to take if the URL category-based rules are configured, but GigaSMART does not have the category information.
■   For decrypted traffic, options to override expired, invalid, self-signed, and unknown CA certificates and to enable or disable the certificate revocation check.
■   Whether or not to send decrypted/non-decrypted traffic through the tools.

Each policy rule consists of a match condition and the decrypt or no-decrypt action for the match. The following rule types are available:

■   URL category
■   hostname/domain name
■   server certificate issuer
■   source and destination IP address
■   source and destination port numbers
■   VLAN identifier

Note:  You can configure up to 2048 policy rules under a policy profile.
