- (Optional) Navigate to Policy > Web Policy > Policy > Global Block > Global Block Lists and add the URLs that need to be blocked. These URLs will be blocked even after the user is authenticated by RSA.
- Click the gear icon, navigate to Infrastructure > Web Gateway Setup > Get SCP > Manage SCP, and select the policy created under Configuration Policies.
- Click Proxy Bypass.
- Click Bypass all proxies for traffic to these domains and add the following entries with your requirements.
myshn.net
webpolicy.cloud.mvision.skyhigh.cloud
dashboard-us.ui.skyhigh.cloud
securid.com
trellix.com - Click OK.
- (Optional) To add the processes to the list for Bypassing the proxy, find out the process names from the task manager and add those entries in Bypass all the proxies for traffic from these processes.
- Click Save.
- Select the Gateway List and create a Gateway if not already created with the following details.
-
- Gateway Hostname: c<CustomerID>.wgcs.skyhigh.cloud
- Listening Port: 8080
-
- Navigate to Policy > Web Policy > Policy > SAML Authentication.
- Click the gear icon and select the SAML configuration.
- Select custom SAML Authentication Preference if one is created.
- Navigate to SCP Configuration > Configuration Policies and select your policy.
- Click Actions > Export Bundle.
- Unzip the zip file and run the .msi file to install.
- Navigate to SCP Configuration > Configuration Policies and select your policy.
- Click Actions > Export Policy.
- Rename the downloaded file to scppolicy.opg and place it in C:\ProgramData\Skyhigh\SCP\Policy\Temp (Program Data is a hidden folder).
- Click the Windows Start menu > About Skyhigh client proxy. Connection status should be connected and the Policy Revision number should match the Revision number on the SCP configuration policy.
Notes
- Only SP-initiated flow is supported.
- Customer ID can be retrieved from SCP Configuration > Global Configuration > Tenant Authentication.
- By default, the timeout for the proxy using agents is 72000 seconds. To reduce this, select custom SAML Authentication Preference on Web Policy > SAML Authentication > gear icon.
To create the custom SAML Authentication Preference, navigate to Policy > Web Policy > Feature Configuration > SAML Authentication Preference (in the left pane).
The configuration is complete.
