Manage PAC Files
Cisco Secure Access provides several client configuration options to manage the web traffic and internet security for the user devices in the organization. You can integrate a proxy auto-config (PAC) file URL for the browsers that you use to reach web resources.
A PAC file is used by browsers to select the correct proxy server that can fetch a requested URL. The browser-based traffic is proxied through the Secure Access secure web gateway (SWG). After you integrate a PAC file on a user device, all traffic that is sent from the browser is redirected to the SWG. Secure Access applies DNS-layer security to browser traffic for non-web resources only, which bypasses the PAC file.
To download the Secure Access PAC file or custom PAC files to user devices, connect to Secure Access on a Registered Network or Network Tunnel. A roaming user device that has the Cisco Secure Client with the Umbrella Roaming security module deployed can also connect to Secure Access and download PAC files.
