OpenSSH

This file is part of the OpenSSH software.

The licences which components of this software fall under are as follows. First, we will summarize and say that all components are under a BSD licence, or a licence more free than that.

OpenSSH contains no GPL code.

1) As far as I am concerned, the code I have written for this software can be used freely for any purpose. Any derived versions of this software must be clearly marked as such, and if the derived work is incompatible with the protocol description in the RFC file, it must be called by a name other than "ssh" or "Secure Shell".

[Tatu continues]

However, I am not implying to give any licenses to any patents or copyrights held by third parties, and the software includes parts that are not under my direct control. As far as I know, all included source code is used in accordance with the relevant license agreements and can be used freely for any purpose (the GNU license being the most restrictive); see below for details.

[However, none of that term is relevant at this point in time. All of these restrictively licenced software components which he talks about have been removed from OpenSSH, i.e.,

-RSA is no longer included, found in the OpenSSL library

-IDEA is no longer included, its use is deprecated

-DES is now external, in the OpenSSL library

-GMP is no longer used, and instead we call BN code from OpenSSL

-Zlib is now external, in a library

-The make-ssh-known-hosts script is no longer included

-TSS has been removed

-MD5 is now external, in the OpenSSL library

-RC4 support has been replaced with ARC4 support from OpenSSL

-Blowfish is now external, in the OpenSSL library

[The licence continues]

Note that any information and cryptographic algorithms used in this software are publicly available on the Internet and at any major bookstore, scientific library, and patent office worldwide. More information can be found e.g. at "http://www.cs.hut.fi/crypto".

The legal status of this program is some combination of all these permissions and restrictions. Use only at your own responsibility. You will be responsible for any legal consequences yourself; I am not making any claims whether possessing or using this is legal or not in your country, and I am not taking any responsibility on your behalf.

NO WARRANTY

BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR

Copyrights

A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Preface: Introducing the Content Policy Language

The Content Policy Language (CPL) is a powerful, flexible language that enables you to specify a variety of Web-access policies. ProxySG policy is written in CPL, and every Web request is evaluated based on the installed policy. The language is designed so that policies can be customized to an organization’s specific set of users and unique enforcement needs.

CPL uses the settings created when you configured the ProxySG to your specifications.

CPL has the following capabilities:

•Fine-grained control over various aspects of ProxySG behavior.

•Layered policy, allowing for multiple policy decisions for each request.

•Multiple actions triggered by a particular condition.

•Flexibility of user-defined conditions and actions.

•Convenience of predefined common actions and transformations.

•Authentication-aware policy, including user and group configuration.

•Support for multiple authentication realms.

•Configurable policy event logging.

•Built-in debugging.

About the Document Organization

This document is organized for easy reference, and is divided into the following sections and chapters:

ProxySG Content Policy Language Guide

Chapter 1: Overview of Content Policy Language

The Content Policy Language (CPL) is a programming language with its own concepts and rules that you must follow.

This chapter provides an overview of CPL, including the following topics:

•"Concepts"

•"CPL Language Basics"

•"Writing Policy Using CPL"

•"Troubleshooting Policy"

•"Upgrade/Downgrade Issues"

Concepts

The term policy, as used here, refers to configuration values and rules applied to render decisions on authentication requirements, access rights, quality of service, or content transformations (including rewrites and off-box services that should be used to process the request or response). Often, the policy references system configuration for the default values for some settings and then evaluates rules to see if those settings should be overridden.

CPL is a language for specifying the policy rules for the ProxySG. Primarily, it controls the following:

•User Authentication requirements

•Access to Web-related resources

•Cache content

•Various aspects of request and response processing

•Access logging

You can create policy rules using either the Visual Policy Manager (VPM), which is accessible through the Management Console, or by composing CPL.

Before reading sample CPL or trying to express your own policies in CPL, Blue Coat recommends that you understand the fundamental concepts underlying policy enforcement in the ProxySG appliances. This section provides an overview of important concepts.

Transactions

In the CPL context, a transaction is the encapsulation of a request for service and any associated response for the purposes of policy evaluation and enforcement. In most cases, a transaction is created for each unique request for service, and the transaction exists for the time taken to process the request and deliver the response.

The transaction serves the following purposes:

•Exposes request and response state for testing during policy evaluation.

ProxySG Content Policy Language Guide

This provides the ability to test various aspects of a request, such as the IP address of the client and the URL used, or the response, such as the contents of any HTTP headers.

•Ensures policy integrity during processing.

The lifetime of a transaction may be relatively long, especially if a large object is being fetched over slow networks and subjected to off-box processing services such as content filtering and virus scanning. During this time, changes to configuration or policy rules may occur, which would result in altering the policy decisions that affect a transaction. If a request was evaluated against one version of policy, and some time later the associated response were evaluated against a different version of policy, the outcome would be unpredictable and possibly inconsistent.

The transaction ensures that both the request and the response are evaluated against the version of policy that was current when the transaction was created. To ensure that new policy is respected, long lived transactions such as those involved in streaming, or large file downloads, are re-evaluated under new policy. Re-evaluation applies to both the request and response, and any resulting new decisions that cannot be honoured (such as new authentication requirements) result in transaction termination.

•Maintains policy decisions relevant to request and response processing.

•Various types of transactions are used to support the different policy evaluation requirements of the individual protocols: administrator, cache, and proxy transactions.

•In a few special cases, two or more transactions can be created for a single request. For example, if an HTTP request is made via the SOCKS proxy (on port 1080 of the ProxySG), then it is possible for two transactions to be created: a SOCKS proxy transaction, and an HTTP proxy transaction. You can see these transactions for yourself if you turn on policy tracing. A new entry is added to the policy trace file for each transaction.

Policy Model

Each transaction begins with a default set of decisions, many of which are taken from configuration of the system. These defaults include such things as forwarding hosts or SOCKS gateways. The most important default decision affects whether or not requests should be allowed or denied. The defaults for the various transaction types are:

•Administrator Transaction— the default is to deny requests.

By default, administration is only available through one of the methods that bypasses policy evaluation. These are:

accessing the CLI through the serial console

accessing the CLI through RSA authenticated SSH

logging into the Management Console or CLI using the console credentials

Specific rights must be granted through policy to enable other administration methods.

•Cache Transactions—the default is to allow requests.

These requests originate from the ProxySG itself, and are used primarily to maintain the state of content. Additional policy can be added to specifically deny requests for specific content, and to distinguish content management requests from other cache transactions.

•Proxy Transactions—the default is taken from system configuration.

Chapter 1: Overview of Content Policy Language

For new ProxySG appliances, the default is to deny all requests. For ProxySG appliances being upgraded from 4.x, the default is to allow all requests. In either case, the ProxySG can be configured for either default. The default setting is displayed in policy listings.

The proper approach to writing <proxy> layer policy depends on whether or not the default is to allow or deny requests. The default proxy policy is configurable and represents the starting point for writing policy to control proxy transactions. The default proxy policy is reported at the top of every policy listing generated by the ProxySG.

; Default proxy policy is DENY

That line in a policy listing is a CPL comment, defining the starting point for proxy policy.

Role of CPL

CPL is the language used to express policy that depends on the runtime evaluation of each transaction. Policy is written in CPL, installed on the ProxySG, and is evaluated during request processing to override any default decisions taken from configuration.

CPL Language Basics

The following sections provide an overview of the CPL language. In order to concentrate on higher level themes, CPL elements are informally introduced and discussed. Detailed specifications for each of these elements is left to the reference portion of this manual.

Comments

Any line starting with ‘;’ is a comment.

A semicolon (;) following a space or tab introduces a comment that extends to the end of the line (except where the semicolon appears inside quotes as part of a trigger pattern expression or property setting).

For example:

; This is a comment.

Comments can appear anywhere in policy.

Rules

A policy rule consists of a condition and some number of property settings, written in any order. Rules are generally written on a single line, but can be split across lines using a special line continuation character. When a rule is evaluated, the condition is tested for that particular transaction. If the condition evaluates to True, then all of the listed property settings are executed and evaluation of the current layer ends. The rule is said to match. If the condition evaluates to False for that transaction, it is said to miss.

In turn, a condition is a boolean combination of trigger expressions. Triggers are individual tests that can be made against components of the request (url=), response (response.header.Content-Type=), related user (user=, group=), or system state (time=).

ProxySG Content Policy Language Guide

With a few notable exceptions, triggers test one aspect of request, response, or associated state against a boolean expression of values.

For the conditions in a rule, each of the triggers is logically anded together. In other words, the condition is only true if each one of the trigger expressions is true.

Properties are settings that control transaction processing, such as deny, or the handling of the object, such as cache(no), indicating that the object is not to be cached locally. At the beginning of a transaction, all properties are set to their default values. As the policy is evaluated in sequence, rules that match might set a property to a particular value. A property retains the final value setting when evaluation ends, and the transaction is processed accordingly. Properties that are not set within the policy maintain their default values.

The logical form of a policy rule could be expressed as:

if condition is true then set all listed properties as specified

The following is an example of a simple policy rule:

url.domain=example.com time=0900..1700 exception(policy_denied)

It states that the exception( ) property is set to policy_denied if both of the following triggers test true:

•The request is made for a page from the domain example.com

•The request is made between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Notes

•CPL triggers have the form trigger_name=pattern_expression

•CPL properties have the form property_name(setting), except for a few imperative gestures such as allow and deny.

•The text in policy rules is case-insensitive, with a few exceptions identified in the following chapters.

•Policy listings are normalized in several ways. First, condition and action definitions which may appear anywhere in the source, will be grouped following the policy rules. Second, the order of the conditions and properties on a rule may change, since the CPL compiler always puts a deny or allow at the beginning of the rule, and orders conditions to optimize evaluation. Finally, several phrases are synonyms for phrases that are preferred. In the output of show policy, the preferred form is listed instead of the synonym.

Four such synonyms are:

exception(authorization_failed), which is a synonym for the preferred deny.unauthorized

force_exception(authorization_failed), which is a synonym for the preferred force_deny.unauthorized

exception(policy_denied), which is a synonym for the preferred deny

exception(no), which is a synonym for the preferred allow.

Chapter 1: Overview of Content Policy Language

•More complex boolean expressions are allowed for the pattern_expression in the triggers. For example, the second part of the condition in the simple rule shown above could be “the request is made between 9 a.m. and noon or between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m”, expressed as:

... time=(0900..1200 || 1300..1700) ...

Boolean expression are built from the specific values allowed with the trigger, and the boolean operators ! (not), && (and), || (or) and () for grouping. More details are found in the Trigger Reference chapter. Alternative values may also be separated by a comma—this is often more readable than using the ‘||’ operator. For example, the following rule will deny service to requests for pages in either one of the two domains listed.

url.domain=(example.com, another.com) deny

•Long lines can be split using ‘\’ as a line continuation character. The ‘\’ must be the last character on the line and be preceded by space or Tab. For example:

url.domain=example.com time=0900..1700 \ deny

Do not use a semicolon to add comments within such a continued line: everything following the semicolon, including text on the continued lines, will be treated as part of the comment. For example:

url.domain=example.com \ ; missplaced comment deny

becomes

url.domain=example.com ; missplaced comment deny

In other words, the effect was to continue the comment.

Quoting

Certain characters are considered special by CPL and have meaning as punctuation elements of the language. For example = (equal) separates a trigger name from its associated value, and blank space separates expressions in a rule. To use a value that contains one of these characters, the value must be quoted with either single (') or double (") quotation marks, so that the special characters are not interpreted as punctuation. Text within single quotation marks can include any character other than a single quotation mark. Text within double quotation marks can include any character other than a double quotation mark. Here are some examples of where quoting is necessary:

user="John Doe" ; value contains a space

url="www.example.com/script.cgi?param=value" ; value contains ‘=’

deny( "You don’t have access to that page!" ) ; several special chars

The full list of characters that should be quoted when they appear can be found in the reference manual. Note that you can quote any string in CPL without affecting interpretation, even if the quotes are not strictly needed. For convenience, you can quote any value that consists of more than letters and/or numbers.

user="john.doe" ; quotes not required, but can be used

Important: Within a define action or define url_rewrite statement, you must use double quotes ("), not single quotes (') to delimit a string.

ProxySG Content Policy Language Guide

Layers

A policy layer is a CPL construct used to evaluate a set of rules and reach one decision. Separating decisions helps control policy complexity, and is done through writing each decision in a separate layer. Each layer has the form:

<layer_type [label]> [layer_condition][layer_properties] ...

layer_content

where:

•The layer_type defines the transactions evaluated against this policy, and restricts the triggers and properties allowed in the rules used in the layer. See the following Layer Types section.

•The optional label, separated from the layer type by space, is a CPL User-defined Identifier (see section Chapter 2), basically an alphabetic character followed by alphanumeric or underscore characters.

•The optional layer_condition is a list of triggers, all of which must evaluate to true before the layer content is evaluated.

•The optional layer_properties is a list of properties that will become the default settings for those properties for any rule matched in the layer. These can be overridden by explicitly setting a different value for that property in a specific rule within the layer.

•The layer_content is a list of rules, possibly organized in sections. (see following). A layer must contain at least one rule.

Collectively, the layer_condition and layer_properties are often referred to as a layer guard expression.

If a rule has the logical form “if (condition is true) then set properties”, a layer has the form:

if (layer_condition is true) then

{

if (rule1_condition is true) then

set layer_properties then set rule1 properties else if (rule2_condition is true) then

set layer_properties then set rule2 properties else if (rule3_condition is true) then

set layer_properties then set rule3 properties

...

}

Within a layer, the first rule that matches terminates evaluation of that layer.

Layers within a policy are evaluated from top to bottom, with rules in later layers taking precedence over rules in earlier layers.

In CPL, all policy rules are written in a layer. A rule cannot appear in policy preceding any layer header.

Sections

The rules in layers can optionally be organized in one or more sections, which is a way of grouping rules together. A section consists of a section header followed by a list of rules.

A section has the form:

Chapter 1: Overview of Content Policy Language

[section_type [label]] [section_condition][section_properties]

section_content

where:

•The section_type defines the syntax of the rules used in the section, and the evaluation strategy used to evaluate those rules. The square brackets [ ] surrounding the section name (and optional label) are required.

•The optional label, separated from the section type by space, is a CPL User-defined Identifier similar to a layer label.

•The optional section_condition is a list of triggers, all of which must evaluate to true before the section content is evaluated.

•The optional section_properties is a list of properties that will become the default settings for those properties for any rule matched in the section. These override any layer property defaults and can in turn be overridden by explicitly setting a different value for that property in a rule within the section.

•The section_content is a list of rules. A section must contain at least one rule.

Collectively, the section_condition and section_properties are often referred to as a section guard expression.

A layer with sections has the logical form:

if (layer_condition is true) then

{

if (section1_condition is true then

{

if (rule1A_condition is true) then

set layer_properties then section_properties then rule1A properties else if (rule1B_condition is true) then

set layer_properties then section_properties then set rule1B

properties

....

}

else if (section2_condition is true then

{

if (rule2A_condition is true) then

set layer_properties then section_properties then rule2A properties else ...

}

...

}

Definitions

Two types of definitions are used in CPL:

•Named definitions that are explicitly referenced by policy

•Anonymous definitions that apply to all policy evaluation and are not referenced directly in rules.

ProxySG Content Policy Language Guide

Named Definitions

There are various types of named definitions. Each definition is given a user defined name that is then used in rules to refer to the definition. This section highlights a few of the definition types, as an overview of the topic. Refer to the Definitions reference chapter for more details.

Subnet Definitions

Subnet definitions are used to define a list of IP addresses or IP subnet masks that can be used to test any of the IP addresses associated with the transaction, for example, the client’s address or the request’s destination address.

Condition Definitions

Condition definitions can include any triggers that are legal in the layer referencing the condition. The condition= trigger is the exception to the rule that triggers can test only one aspect of a transaction. Since conditions definitions can include other triggers, condition= triggers can test multiple parts of the transaction state. Also, condition definitions allow for arbitrary boolean combinations of trigger expressions.

Category Definitions

Category definitions are used to extend vendor content categories or to create your own. These categories are tested (along with any vendor defined categories) using the category= trigger.

Action Definitions

An action takes arguments and is wrapped in a named action definition block. Actions are turned on or off for a transaction through setting the action( ) property. The action property has syntax that allows for individual actions to be turned on and off independently. When the action definition is turned on, any actions it contains operate on their respective arguments.

Transformer Definitions

A transformer definition is a kind of named definition that specifies a transformation that is to be applied to an HTTP response. There are three types: url_rewrite definitions, active_content definitions, and javascript definitions.

Anonymous Definitions

Two types of anonymous definitions modify policy evaluation, but are not referenced by any rules. These definitions serve to restrict DNS and Reverse-DNS lookups and are useful in installations where access to DNS or Reverse-DNS resolution is limited or problematic.

Referential Integrity

Policy references many objects defined in system configuration, such as authentication realms, forward hosts, SOCKS gateways, and the like. CPL enforces the integrity of those references by ensuring that the entities named in policy exist and have appropriate characteristics at the time the policy is compiled. During runtime, any attempts to remove a configured object that is referenced by currently active policy will fail.

To remove a configured entity, such as a realm, that is referenced by policy, new policy must be installed with all references to that realm removed. New transactions will open against a version of

Chapter 1: Overview of Content Policy Language

policy that does not require the realm. Once all outstanding transactions that required reference to the realm have completed, the realm can be removed from configuration.

Substitutions

The actions used to rewrite the URL request or to modify HTTP request headers or HTTP response headers often need to reference the values of various elements of the transaction state when constructing the new URL or header value. CPL provides support for various substitutions, which will expand at runtime to the indicated transaction value. Substitutions have the form:

$(name)

For example, the substitution $(user) expands to the authenticated user name associated with the transaction. If policy did not require that user to authenticate, the substitution expands to an empty string.

Substitutions can also be used directly in the values specified to some CPL properties, such as when setting text in a message that will be displayed to users.

Substitutions are available for a variety of purposes. For a categorized list of the substitutions available, see Appendix D: "CPL Substitutions".

Writing Policy Using CPL

A policy file is the unit of integration used to assemble policy.

Policy written in CPL is stored in one of four files on the ProxySG. These files are the following:

•VPM: This file is reserved for use by the Visual Policy Manager.

•Local: When the VPM is not being used, the Local file will typically contain the majority of the policy rules for a system. When the VPM is being used, this file might be empty, it might include rules for advanced policy features that are not available in the VPM, or it might otherwise supplement VPM policy.

•Central: This file is typically managed by Blue Coat, although you can have the ProxySG point to a custom Central policy file instead.

•Forward: The Forward policy file is normally used for all Forward policy, although you can use it to supplement any policy created in the other three policy files. The Forward policy file will contain Advanced Forwarding rules when the system is upgraded from a previous version of SGOS (2.x) or CacheOS (4.x).

Each of the files may contain rules and definitions, but an empty file is also legal. (An empty file specifies no policy and has no effect on the ProxySG.)

Cross file references are allowed but the definitions must be installed before the references, and references must be removed before definitions are removed.

The final installed policy is assembled from the policy stored in the four files by concatenating their contents. The order of assembly of the VPM, Central and Local policy files is configurable. The recommended evaluation order is VPM, Local, Central. The Forward policy file is always last.

ProxySG Content Policy Language Guide

Authentication and Denial

One of the most important timing relationships to be aware of is the relation between authentication and denial. Denial can be done either before or after authentication, and different organizations have different requirements. For example, suppose an organization requires the following:

•Protection from denial of service attacks by refusing traffic from any source other than the corporate subnet.

•The user name of corporate users is to be displayed in access logs, even when the user request has been denied.

The following example demonstrates how to choose the correct CPL properties. First, the following is a sample policy that is not quite correct:

define subnet corporate_subnet 10.10.12.0/24

end

<Proxy>

client.address=!corporate_subnet deny ; filter out strangers authenticate(MyRealm) ; this has lower precedence than deny

<Proxy>

; user names will NOT be displayed in the access log for the denied requests category=Gambling exception(content_filter_denied)

In this policy, requests coming from outside the corporate subnet are denied, while users inside the corporate subnet are asked to authenticate.

Content categories are determined from the request URL and can be determined before authentication. Deny has precedence over authentication, so this policy denies the user request before the user is challenged to authenticate. Therefore, the user name is not available for access logging. Note that the precedence relation between deny and authenticate does not depend on the order of the layers, so changing the layer order will not affect the outcome.

The CPL property force_authenticate(), however, has higher precedence than deny, so the following amended policy ensures that the user name is displayed in the access logs:

define subnet corporate_subnet 10.10.12.0/24

end

<Proxy>

client.address=!corporate_subnet deny ; filter out strangers force_authenticate(MyRealm) ; this has higher precedence than deny

<Proxy>

; user names will be displayed in the access log for the denied requests category=Gambling exception(content_filter_denied)

The timing for authentication over the SOCKS protocol is different. If you are using the SOCKS authentication mechanism, the challenge is issued when the connection is established, so user identities are available before the request is received, and the following policy would be correct.

define subnet corporate_subnet 10.10.12.0/24

end

Chapter 1: Overview of Content Policy Language

<Proxy>

client.address=!corporate_subnet deny ; filter out strangers socks.authenticate(MyRealm) ; this happens earlier than the category test

<Proxy>

; user names be displayed in the access log for the denied requests category=Gambling exception(content_filter_denied)

Note that this only works for SOCKS authenticated users.

Installing Policy

Policy is installed by installing one of the four policy files (VPM, Local, Central or Forward). Installing one new file causes the most recent versions of the other three files to be loaded, the contents concatenated in the order specified by the current configuration, and the resulting complete policy compiled.

If any compilation errors are detected, the new policy file is not installed and the policy in effect is unchanged.

Refer to Chapter 12, “Advanced Policy,” of the ProxySG Configuration and Management Guide for specific instructions on installing a policy file.

CPL General Use Characters and Formatting

The following characters and formatting have significance within policy files in general, outside of the arguments used in condition expressions, the values used in property statements, and the arguments used in actions.

Character	Example	Significance
Semicolon (;)	; Comment	Used either inline or at the beginning of a
	<Proxy> ; Comment	line to introduce text to be ignored during
		policy evaluation. Commonly used to
		provide comments.

Newline	deny server_url.scheme=mms deny	CPL expects most constructs (layers,
	server_url.domain=xyz.com	sections, rules, definitions) to begin on a new
		line. When not preceded by a line
		continuation character, a newline terminates
		a layer header, section header, the current
		rule, clause within a defined condition, or
		action within an action definition.
Line Continuation	\	A line continuation character indicates that
		the current line is part of the previous line.
Whitespace	< proxy >	Used to enhance readability. Whitespace can
	weekday = ( 3 \|\| 7 ) deny	be inserted between tokens, as shown in this
		example, without affecting processing. In
		addition, quoted strings can include
		whitespace. However, numeric ranges, such
		as weekday = 1..7, cannot contain
		whitespace.
Angle brackets (< >)	<Proxy>	Used to mark layer headings.
Square brackets ([ ])	[Rule]	Used to mark section names.

ProxySG Content Policy Language Guide

Equal sign (=)	server_url.scheme=mms	Used to indicate the value a condition is to
		test.
Parentheses ( )	service(no)	Used to enclose the value that a property is
		to be set to, or group components of a test.

Troubleshooting Policy

When installed policy does not behave as expected, use policy tracing to understand the behavior of the installed policy.

Tracing records additional information about a transaction and re-evaluates the transaction when it is terminated; however, it does not show the timing of evaluations through transaction processing. The extra processing required significantly impacts performance, so do not enable tracing in production environments unless you need to reproduce and diagnose a problem. If tracing is used on a system in production, attempt to restrict which transactions are traced. For example, you can trace only requests from a test workstation by defining the tracing rules as conditional on a client.address= trigger that tests for that workstation's IP address.

For more information on generating and retrieving policy trace, see Appendix B: "Testing and Troubleshooting".

While policy traces can show the rule evaluation behavior, they do not show the final effect of policy actions like HTTP header or URL modifications. To see the result of these policy actions it is often useful to actually view the packets sent and received. The PCAP facility can be used in conjunction with tracing to see the effect of the actions set by the matching rules.

Upgrade/Downgrade Issues

Specific upgrade downgrade issues will be mentioned in the release notes accompanying your version of SGOS. This section highlights general upgrade downgrade issues related to policy written in CPL.

CPL Syntax Deprecations

As the power of CPL has increased, the CPL language has evolved. To allow continuous evolution, the CPL language constructs are now more regular and flexible. Older language constructs have been replaced with new constructs of equal or greater power.

However, this also implies that support for old language constructs will eventually be dropped to help maintain the runtime efficiency of evaluation. As part of the migration strategy, the CPL compilation warnings might include warnings regarding the use of deprecated constructs. This class of warning is special, and indicates use of a CPL language element that will not be supported in the next major release of SGOS. Eliminate deprecation warnings by migrating the policy identified by the warning to more modern syntax, which is usually indicated in the warning message. Attempts to upgrade to the next major release might fail, or result in a failure to load policy, unless all deprecation warnings are eliminated.
