Type of Proxy Configuration
IWSVA supports multiple deployment modes.
• Forward proxy where clients directly connect to IWSVA.
• Upstream proxy to another existing internal proxy server
• ICAP Server to an existing ICAP 1.0 compliant cache controller
• WCCP client to a configured WCCP-enabled router of firewall
• Transparent Bridge Mode
• Reverse proxy to protect a Web server
The deployment is configured after the IWSVA installation and it can be changed using
the Deployment Wizard in the Web console. Each transparent bridge segment
supported by IWSVA requires two network interface cards. See Planning the HTTP
Flow on page 2-5 and Planning FTP Flows on page 2-7.
Control Manager Server Information
Control Manager registration is performed through the IWSVA Web UI after the
IWSVA installation is complete.
Database Type and Location
IWSVA uses the PostgreSQL database for policies, rules, and configuration settings. A
local PostgreSQL installation is performed during IWSVA installation.
SNMP Notifications
If you plan to use SNMP notifications, the IWSVA setup program installs the
appropriate SNMP libraries.
Web Console Password
Access to the IWSVA Web console is controlled initially through a default username
“admin.” The password is set during installation from the ISO file.
