Optimizing Clientless SSL VPN Performance

Detailed Steps

Disabling Content Rewrite

You might not want some applications and web resources, for example, public websites, to go through
the ASA. The ASA therefore lets you create rewrite rules that let users browse certain sites and
applications without going through the ASA. This is similar to split-tunneling in an IPsec VPN
connection.

Using Proxy Bypass

You can configure the ASA to use proxy bypass when applications and web resources work better with
the special content rewriting this feature provides. Proxy bypass is an alternative method of content
rewriting that makes minimal changes to the original content. It is often useful with custom web
applications.

You can use this command multiple times. The order in which you configure entries is unimportant. The
interface and path mask or interface and port uniquely identify a proxy bypass rule.

Command

Purpose

Step 1

webvpn

Switches to webvpn configuration mode.

Step 2

rewrite

Specifies applications and resources to access
outside a clientless SSLN VPN tunnel. You can use
this command multiple times.

Step 3

disable

Used in combination with the rewrite command. The
order number of rules is important because the
security appliance searches rewrite rules by order
number, starting with the lowest, and applies the
first rule that matches.
