Importing Settings from a Web Security Appliance

If you want to use an existing, working configuration from one of your Web Security appliances, you can import the configuration file to the Security Management appliance to create policy settings in a Configuration Master.

Before you begin

Verify compatibility of configuration files and Configuration Master versions. See Determine the Configuration Master Versions to Use.

Caution

You can import compatible web configuration files as often as you want, even if you have already published configurations to your managed Web Security appliances. Importing a configuration file to a Configuration Master completely overwrites the settings associated with the selected Configuration Master. In addition, the security services settings on the Security Services Display page are set to match the imported configuration.

Note	If you attempt to import a configuration file that uses an older set of the URL Categories than the Security Management appliance has, the load will fail.

Procedure

Step 1	Save a configuration file from the Web Security appliance.
Step 2	On the Security Management appliance, choose Web > Utilities > Configuration Masters.
Step 3	In the Options column, click Import Configuration.
Step 4	From the Select Configuration drop-down list, select Web Configuration File.
Step 5	In the New Master Defaults section, click Browse and select a valid configuration file from a Web Security appliance.
Step 6	Click Import File.
Step 7	Click Import.
