Defining a Proxy Configuration File URL

If your organization uses proxy servers, the hosts in the network need to know through which proxies to send relevant traffic. You can configure the Cato Clients to pull a proxy configuration file (PAC file) from a specific URL.

You can define PAC files for these Cato Management Application objects:

  • Account

  • Groups or User Groups

  • Users

When a PAC file is configured for multiple objects, the most specific object takes precedence as shown in the following list:

  1. Users (highest priority)

  2. Groups or User Groups

  3. Account (lowest priority)

For example, the user settings for a PAC file URL takes precedence over a PAC file URL configured for a group.
