Configure Traffic Forwarding from SWG On-Prem to Skyhigh SSE DLP as ICAP

You can forward requests for content inspection from Skyhigh Secure Web Gateway On-prem to Skyhigh SSE for DLP inspection using ICAP.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that the following are enabled in SSE:

  • API Key for ICAP inspection
  • DLP Functionality
Configure Traffic Forwarding from SWG On-prem to SSE DLP

Follow these steps to configure and synchronize SWG On-prem policies to forward traffic to SSE for DLP inspection:

  1. Log in to the on-premises UI. 
  2. Import the Data Loss Prevention (DLP) with ICAP from the library ruleset. 
  3. Under ICAP Server List, create a server URL using one of the following formats:
    icaps://icap.wgcs.skyhigh.cloud/:11344/v1/web/
                or
    icaps://icap.wgcs.skyhigh.cloud:11344/v1/web/?api_key=<APIKEY>For details, see Enable ICAP-based DLP for Unified Data Protection.

NOTE: SWG On-prem supports only server certificate verification and does not support CA certificate verification.

  1. For correct rendering of our block pages, the ICAP Client should forward all HTTP GET requests starting with the URL path */mwg-internal/* to the ICAP Server. This allows fetching the subresources of the blockpage.

Troubleshooting
 

  • Certificate configuration Issue. SWG On‑prem supports only server certificate configuration, so if the certificate is rotated or changed without notice, trust validation errors may occur.
    Solution: Verify that the current server certificate matches the one configured on SWG On‑prem and update it promptly if changed.
