unicast alias Defines an name on the appliance for a streaming URL. When a client requests the

alias content on the appliance, the appliance uses the URL specified in the unicast-

alias command to request the content from the origin streaming server.

universal time coordinates

(UTC)

An SG appliance must know the current UTC time. By default, the appliance

attempts to connect to a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server to acquire the UTC

time. If the SG appliance cannot access any NTP servers, you must manually set the

UTC time.

URL filtering See content filtering.

URL rewrite rules Rewrite the URLs of client requests to acquire the streaming content using the new

URL. For example, when a client tries to access content on www.mycompany.com,

the appliance is actually receiving the content from the server on 10.253.123.123. The

client is unaware that mycompany.com is not serving the content; however, the

appliance access logs indicate the actual server that provides the content.

WCCP Web Cache Communication Protocol. Allows you to establish redirection of the

traffic that flows through routers.

Web FTP Web FTP is used when a client connects in explicit mode using HTTP and accesses an

ftp:// URL. The SG appliance translates the HTTP request into an FTP request for the

OCS (if the content is not already cached), and then translates the FTP response with

the file contents into an HTTP response for the client.

Websense log type A Blue Coat proprietary log type that is compatible with the Websense reporter tool.

XML responder

HTTP XML service that runs on an external server.

XML requestor

XML realm.
