Securing the Web with Cisco Web Security Appliance (SWSA) — Question 29

Which two features can be used with an upstream and downstream Cisco WSA web proxy to have the upstream WSA identify users by their client IP address?
(Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. X-Forwarded-For
• B. high availability
• C. web cache
• D. via
• E. IP spoofing

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

The X-Forwarded-For header is used to pass the original client IP address to the upstream WSA, making it essential for user identification. The 'via' option also contributes to this process by indicating the intermediary proxies in the connection path. The other options, such as high availability and web cache, do not directly relate to identifying users by their IP address.
