Cisco Secure Access Help Manage Private Resources Add a Private Resource Communication with Secure Access Cloud

Last updated: Aug 20, 2025

Communication with Secure Access Cloud

Provide the network address information for communicating with the private resource.

  1. For Internally reachable address, enter an IP address, FQDN, wildcard FQDN (in the format *.example.com), protocol, and port or port ranges.
    • You do not have to provide an address that is publicly accessible from outside the network.
    • If you will allow browser-based access to this resource by users who do not have the Cisco Secure Client installed on their devices, the protocol you select must include HTTP/HTTPS.

      Use caution when adding addresses that duplicate or overlap with addresses in other configured private resources. If you will enable browser-based zero trust access using SSH or Remote Desktop (RDP) protocols, see Allow SSH and RDP Access to Private Resources.

    • If you will decrypt traffic to this resource:
      • In each address line, you can specify a single IP address (no address ranges) or CIDR block, or a comma-separated list of addresses or CIDR blocks, or an FQDN with or without wildcard. Add addresses and FQDNs as separate lines.
      • If the address includes a wildcard FQDN, the wildcard must be the first character in the address string (*.example.com).
      • Specify a single port or "Any" port; no comma-separated port numbers, no port ranges.
      • If you need to decrypt traffic to multiple ports for the same address, click + Network IP or FQDN and add a separate address line for each port.
      • Select a protocol that includes TCP and does not include UDP.
      • Example configurations:
    • If you have entered a domain and Secure Access will route traffic to this resource using network tunnels:

      • Select an internal DNS server that can route traffic to the specified resource address.

      • To configure an internal DNS server, see Add DNS Servers.
