Secure Web Gateway 12.1.5 Release Notes

New Features in the 12.1 Release 

Configure Proxy Control X-Cache Header 

A configurable option is now available to either add or remove the Proxy Control X-Cache header in the response. The new setting is located at Policy > settings > proxy control, and the checkbox is called Override X-Cache Header. The setting is enabled by default. For more details, Configure the X-Cache Header in the Response.

TCP Half Close support for TCP Proxy and SOCKS Proxy  

TCP Half Close refers to a TCP connection that is half-closed. So if one participant in a TCP connection has initiated FIN in one direction, then it can still receive data from another participant until the second FIN is received from the other direction. TCP Half Close support is provided for SWG acting as TCP Proxy or SOCKS Proxy. For details, see TCP Half Close for TCP or SOCKS Proxy.

Configure Separate Passwords for SNMPv3 Auth and Encryption 

You can now configure separate passwords for Authentication and Encryption for the SNMPv3 messages. For details, see Configure Event Monitoring with SNMP

Return To Sender 

This feature allows outgoing traffic of SWG to skip default kernel routing. Each reply packet going out

  1. will have same source mac as destination mac in the request packet.
  2. will have same destination mac as source mac in the request packet.
  3. If the reply going out on different interface it came from,  the reply will be redirected to the same interface on which the request came from.
MediaType Detection for InDesign Files  

Media Type can detect InDesign INDD and INDT files and templates. For these file types, the MediaType.EnsuredTypes property contains application/x-indesign. For details, see Media Type Detection for InDesign.

Rebranded SNMP SMI and MIB file with updated Org OID for Skyhigh Security
