What is the policy assignment order?


  • Question
    What is the policy assignment order for a User Group/User in Trustwave Secure Web Gateway appliance?

  • Answer

    The policy assignment in Trustwave Secure Web Gateway appliance is as follows:

    1. The Local Users are being evaluated according to their respective username IP address. Please note that the Local Users are referred to as Independent Users in version 9.x/10.x.
    2. The Local Groups are being evaluated according to their set IP range.
    3. The imported LDAP users, which are associated with their relevant LDAP groups are then evaluated.
    4. The Unknown LDAP Users is then used, which may result due to unknown user which was imported to the SWG appliance as part of the LDAP objects, but is currently not associated with an LDAP group.
    5. Lastly, if all the above are not relevant, the Unknown Users group is then used, which means users that are completely unrecognized by the system.
