In previous articles, we have discussed the use of F5 BIG-IP as a SSL VPN and other use cases for external or inbound access. I now wanted to take some time to discuss an outbound access use case using F5 BIG-IP as an explicit forward web proxy. In laymen terms, this use case allows you to control end user web access with malware prevention, URL and content filtering. This is made possible with a great partnership between F5 and Forcepoint, previously known as Websense. The BIG-IP can also be used as a transparent forward proxy though this will be outside the scope of this article. Below is a diagram and description of each.
\n\n
\n\n
OK, so now that we've discussed the intent of the article, let's go over the requirements before getting started. The customer requirement is to identify a forward web proxy solution that provides URL filtering, content filtering as well as the ability to export logs and statistics on end user browsing. They also require single sign on using Kerberos authentication.
\n\n
As the integrator, you're wondering how much it would cost to bring in a new vendor and appliances to meet this requirement. Then you remember hearing that F5 is somewhat of a Swiss Army Knife, can they do this? So as many of us do, we go back to our handy dandy search engine and type in web proxy site:f5.com. What do you know, you see BIG-IP APM Secure Web Gateway Overview.
\n\n
\n\n
After reading the overview you will now identify the requirements to successfully deploy this solution. They include:
\n\n
BIG-IP
LTM Licensed
APM Licensed
SWG Licensed
\n\n
Note: SWG is a subscription based licenses which includes Forcepoint (Websense DB updates)
\n\n
Obtain a signing cert and private key
Keytab generated using KTPass
Latest SWG iApp from https://downloads.f5.com
DNS Configured on BIG-IP to resolve external web addresses
Downloading the IP Intelligence database
Configure browser with explicit web proxy
\n\n
Now looking at this it seems like it must include much much more than F5 but let's go deeper. Running on the F5 BIG-IP is LTM, APM and SWG. From SWG you will download the IP intelligence database which will be stored on the local BIG-IP and if connected to the internet can download updates on a reoccurring basis. With all of that now covered and you have provided a project timeline and requirements to your local PM, let's get started!
\n\n
We will begin by validating the required modules have been provisioned on the BIG-IP.
\n\n
Navigate to System > Resource Provisioning
Validate LTM, APM and Secure Web Gateway are provisioned as you see in the screenshot below. If each of these modules is not provisioned, select the appropriate resources and click Submit.
\n\n
Note: Additional details regarding resource provisioning can be found here https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/bigip-system-essentials-12-1-1/7.html
\n\n
\n\n
Now that you have provisioned the necessary F5 modules, you must obtain a signing cert and key which you will import into the BIG-IP for use later in the article. For this use case, I used a Windows 2012 box to submit a custom certificate request to my CA. For the sake of time, I am not going to walk through the certificate request process though I will provide one very important detail when performing the certificate request. When submitting the custom request, you must enable basic constraints allowing the subject to issue certificates behalf of the BIG-IP.
\n\n
Import the cert and key into the BIG-IP.
\n\n
Navigate to System > Certificate Management > Traffic Certificate Management > Click SSL Certificate List.
Click Import
Specify PKCS 12 as the import type.
Specify Demo_SWG_CA as the certificate name.
Browse to the location that the PFX file was exported to and Import.
Provide the password created when exporting cert and key.
\n\n
\n\n
Click Import
\n\n
Before deploying the SWG iApp, we are going to configure our Active Directory AAA server, create a Keytab file, configure a Kerberos AAA server, create an explicit access policy, custom URL filter as well as a per-request access policy.
\n\n
Create an Active Directory AAA
\n\n
Navigate to Access > Authentication >Active Directory.
Click Create
Specify an AAA Server Name.
Specify an Domain Name.
Select the Direct radio button.
Specify the IP Address of your domain controller.
Provide an Admin username.
Provide the Admin Password.
Click Finished
\n\n
\n\n
Create a Keytab for Kerberos Authentication
\n\n
From Active Directory Users and Computers, create a w user account that will be used to generate a Keytab file.
\n\n
\n\n
\n\n
\n\n
From a command prompt run the following ktpass command.
Accepted Languages: English or any that applies to you.
Click Finished
Once redirected back to Profiles / Policies: Access Profiles (Per-Session Policies) click Edit on the policy that was created in the previous step.
\n\n
\n\n
Select the + between Start and Deny and add a 407 Response.
\n\n
\n\n
From the HTTP Auth Level drop down select negotiate and click Save.
Navigating back to the VPE, following the Basic branch select+between the 407 Response created in the previous step and Deny.
From the Authentication tab select AD Auth and click Add.
\n\n
\n\n
You will then be presented with the AD Auth configuration item.
\n\n
Select the AAA AD server we created in previous steps by using the drop down next to Server.
\n\n
\n\n
Click Save
Navigate back to the VPE.
Following the Negotiate branch select the + between the HTTP 407 Response and Deny.
From the Assignment tab select Variable Assign and click Add Item.
\n\n
\n\n
From the Variable Assign configuration item, select Add new entry.
Select change from the Assignment created in the previous step.
Within the Custom Variable text field, type session.server.network.name .
Within the Custom Expression text field, type expr { \"demo.lab\" } .
Click Finished
Click Save
Following the same workflow, select + between Variable Assign and Deny.
Select the Authentication tab.
Select Kerberos Auth and Click Add Item.
\n\n
\n\n
From the Kerberos Auth configuration item, select the Kerberos AAA server created in previous steps using the drop down next to AAA Server.
Click Save
\n\n
\n\n
From the VPE, modify the endings following Kerberos Auth and AD Auth to Allow.
\n\n
\n\n
Create a Custom URL Filter
\n\n
Navigate to Access > Secure Web Gateway > URL Filter and click Create.
Specify a URL Filter name.
Click Finished
Once the page refreshes, you will be presented with a page to Allow or Deny URL categories. For demo purposes only, select the check in the first column as shown in the screenshot below.
\n\n
\n\n
Click Allow at the bottom left of the screen.
Next place a single check mark next to Social Web - YouTube and click Block.
\n\n
\n\n
Create a Per-Request Access Policy
\n\n
With a Per-Request Access Policy, we can identify the category of each website a user browsers to.
\n\n
Navigate to Access > Profiles / Policies > Per-Request Policies and click Create.
Specify a Per-Request Policy name.
Click Finished
Click on Edit for the Per-Request Policy created in the previous step and you will be redirected to a visual policy editor.
\n\n
\n\n
Click on the + symbol between Start and Allow.
Select the General Purpose tab and add Category Lookup.
\n\n
\n\n
Click Add Item
Leave all default settings and click Save.
Following Category Lookup, click the + , select the General Purpose tab and add URL Filter Assign.
\n\n
\n\n
Click Add Item
From the URL Filter drop down select the URL filter created in previous steps.
\n\n
\n\n
Click Save
\n\n

\n\n
iApp Download
\n\n
After completing each of the steps above, we can now move onto creating an explicit proxy configuration using the latest SWG iApp.
\n\n
From a browser navigate to downloads.f5.com and login.
\n\n
Note: This is a no cost account. If you have not done so, register using a valid email address and you will have access to F5 downloads.
\n\n
Select Find a Download
From the BIG-IP Product Line, select iApp Templates.
\n\n
\n\n
You will then be redirected to the iApps download page
\n\n
Select iApp-Templates
Accept the End User Software License Agreement.
Select the iapps-1.x.x.x.x.zip file.
Select the link to your nearest location.
Save File
\n\n
Return to the BIG-IP TMUI
\n\n
Navigate to iApps > Templates > Click Import
Click Choose File or Browse to the iApp tmpl file located within the compressed zip file.
Click Open and then Upload.
Navigate to Application Services > Applications.
Click Create
Specify a name for the application.
From the Template drop down, change the template to “f5.secure_web_gateway.x.x”
Use the following responses to complete the iApp configuration.
\n\n
\n\n
Click Finished and once the page is refreshed you will see all objects created by the iApp.
\n\n
Configure Trusted CA in Windows Group Policy
\n\n
Before we begin testing it is recommended to configure the local workstation to trust the CA that will be forging new certificates on behalf of the origin servers. In order to ensure all domain joined workstations receive the certificate and it is placed in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store I utilized group policy to deploy the certificate.
\n\n
Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Group Policy Management.
In the console tree, double-click Group Policy Objects in the forest and domain containing the Default Domain Policy Group Policy object (GPO) that you want to edit.
Right-click the Default Domain Policy GPO, and then click Edit.
In the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC), go to Computer Configuration, Windows Settings, Security Settings, and then click Public Key Policies.
Right-click the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store.
Click Import and follow the steps in the Certificate Import Wizard to import the certificates.
From the workstation you will be testing from perform a group policy update using gpupdate /force or reboot the machine.
Launch iexplore.exe
Navigate to the Content tab and click Certificates.
Click on the Trusted Root Certification Authorities tab and scroll down and validate the certificate chosen in the previous step is present.
\n\n
\n\n
In order to configure your browser with a Proxy Server, within Internet Explorer Settings navigate to the Connections tab and click LAN settings.
Enable the checkbox for Use a proxy server for your LAN.
Address: swgkrb.demo.lab
Port: 3128
Click OK twice.
\n\n
\n\n
Testing our Solution
\n\n
Now the time you've been waiting for. F5 said it has the ability but only way to validate is test yourself. So let's get to the bottom of this F5 explicit web proxy claim by F5 and test for ourselves.
\n\n
From the browser configured in the step above, navigate to https://nfl.com.
\n\n
\n\n
Once the page is rendered, you should not receive a certificate error.
Click the Lock next to the refresh button and validate the certificate was issued from the signing certificate configured in previous steps.
Once validated, navigate back to the TMUI > Access > Overview > Active Sessions
Validate an access session is present for the request for https://nfl.com
\n\n
\n\n
Next we will validate users are not able to access YouTube.com as defined in our URL filter.
\n\n
From the client browser, attempt to navigate to youtube.com where you should be presented with an blocked page from the BIG-IP.
\n\n
\n\n
Validate and View Reporting
\n\n
Now that we have successfully validated functionality, we must ensure that we can meet the customers final requirement which is reporting.
\n\n
From the TMUI navigate to Access > Overview > SWG Reports > Overview
\n\n
\n\n
Navigate to Access > Overview > SWG Reports > All Requests
As a review, the customer requirements were to provide the following:
\n\n
URL filtering
Content filtering
Logs and statistics on end user browsing.
Single Sign On using Kerberos authentication.
\n\n
Well, there you have it. You have successfully deployed a forward web proxy solution using something you may already have in your data center. No time to celebrate though, you've got 10 more priority one projects that came into your queue in the hour it took you to deploy SWG! Until next time.

In previous articles, we have discussed the use of F5 BIG-IP as a SSL VPN and other use cases for external or inbound access. I now wanted to take some time to discuss an outbound access use case using F5 BIG-IP as an explicit forward web proxy. In laymen terms, this use case allows you to control end user web access with malware prevention, URL and content filtering. This is made possible with a great partnership between F5 and Forcepoint, previously known as Websense. The BIG-IP can also be used as a transparent forward proxy though this will be outside the scope of this article. Below is a diagram and description of each.
\n\n
\n\n
OK, so now that we've discussed the intent of the article, let's go over the requirements before getting started. The customer requirement is to identify a forward web proxy solution that provides URL filtering, content filtering as well as the ability to export logs and statistics on end user browsing. They also require single sign on using Kerberos authentication.
\n\n
As the integrator, you're wondering how much it would cost to bring in a new vendor and appliances to meet this requirement. Then you remember hearing that F5 is somewhat of a Swiss Army Knife, can they do this? So as many of us do, we go back to our handy dandy search engine and type in web proxy site:f5.com. What do you know, you see BIG-IP APM Secure Web Gateway Overview.
\n\n
\n\n
After reading the overview you will now identify the requirements to successfully deploy this solution. They include:
\n\n
BIG-IP
LTM Licensed
APM Licensed
SWG Licensed
\n\n
Note: SWG is a subscription based licenses which includes Forcepoint (Websense DB updates)
\n\n
Obtain a signing cert and private key
Keytab generated using KTPass
Latest SWG iApp from https://downloads.f5.com
DNS Configured on BIG-IP to resolve external web addresses
Downloading the IP Intelligence database
Configure browser with explicit web proxy
\n\n
Now looking at this it seems like it must include much much more than F5 but let's go deeper. Running on the F5 BIG-IP is LTM, APM and SWG. From SWG you will download the IP intelligence database which will be stored on the local BIG-IP and if connected to the internet can download updates on a reoccurring basis. With all of that now covered and you have provided a project timeline and requirements to your local PM, let's get started!
\n\n
We will begin by validating the required modules have been provisioned on the BIG-IP.
\n\n
Navigate to System > Resource Provisioning
Validate LTM, APM and Secure Web Gateway are provisioned as you see in the screenshot below. If each of these modules is not provisioned, select the appropriate resources and click Submit.
\n\n
Note: Additional details regarding resource provisioning can be found here https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/bigip-system-essentials-12-1-1/7.html
\n\n
\n\n
Now that you have provisioned the necessary F5 modules, you must obtain a signing cert and key which you will import into the BIG-IP for use later in the article. For this use case, I used a Windows 2012 box to submit a custom certificate request to my CA. For the sake of time, I am not going to walk through the certificate request process though I will provide one very important detail when performing the certificate request. When submitting the custom request, you must enable basic constraints allowing the subject to issue certificates behalf of the BIG-IP.
\n\n
Import the cert and key into the BIG-IP.
\n\n
Navigate to System > Certificate Management > Traffic Certificate Management > Click SSL Certificate List.
Click Import
Specify PKCS 12 as the import type.
Specify Demo_SWG_CA as the certificate name.
Browse to the location that the PFX file was exported to and Import.
Provide the password created when exporting cert and key.
\n\n
\n\n
Click Import
\n\n
Before deploying the SWG iApp, we are going to configure our Active Directory AAA server, create a Keytab file, configure a Kerberos AAA server, create an explicit access policy, custom URL filter as well as a per-request access policy.
\n\n
Create an Active Directory AAA
\n\n
Navigate to Access > Authentication >Active Directory.
Click Create
Specify an AAA Server Name.
Specify an Domain Name.
Select the Direct radio button.

\n\n
From Active Directory Users and Computers, create a w user account that will be used to generate a Keytab file.
\n\n
\n\n
\n\n
\n\n
From a command prompt run the following ktpass command.
Accepted Languages: English or any that applies to you.
Click Finished
Once redirected back to Profiles / Policies: Access Profiles (Per-Session Policies) click Edit on the policy that was created in the previous step.

Following the same workflow, select + between Variable Assign and Deny.
Select the Authentication tab.
Select Kerberos Auth and Click Add Item.
\n\n
\n\n
From the Kerberos Auth configuration item, select the Kerberos AAA server created in previous steps using the drop down next to AAA Server.
Click Save
\n\n
\n\n
From the VPE, modify the endings following Kerberos Auth and AD Auth to Allow.
\n\n
\n\n
Create a Custom URL Filter
\n\n
Navigate to Access > Secure Web Gateway > URL Filter and click Create.
Specify a URL Filter name.
Click Finished
Once the page refreshes, you will be presented with a page to Allow or Deny URL categories. For demo purposes only, select the check in the first column as shown in the screenshot below.
\n\n
\n\n
Click Allow at the bottom left of the screen.
Next place a single check mark next to Social Web - YouTube and click Block.
\n\n
\n\n
Create a Per-Request Access Policy
\n\n
With a Per-Request Access Policy, we can identify the category of each website a user browsers to.
\n\n
Navigate to Access > Profiles / Policies > Per-Request Policies and click Create.
Specify a Per-Request Policy name.
Click Finished
Click on Edit for the Per-Request Policy created in the previous step and you will be redirected to a visual policy editor.
\n\n
\n\n
Click on the + symbol between Start and Allow.
Select the General Purpose tab and add Category Lookup.
\n\n
\n\n
Click Add Item
Leave all default settings and click Save.
Following Category Lookup, click the + , select the General Purpose tab and add URL Filter Assign.

Use the following responses to complete the iApp configuration.
\n\n
\n\n
Click Finished and once the page is refreshed you will see all objects created by the iApp.
\n\n
Configure Trusted CA in Windows Group Policy
\n\n
Before we begin testing it is recommended to configure the local workstation to trust the CA that will be forging new certificates on behalf of the origin servers. In order to ensure all domain joined workstations receive the certificate and it is placed in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store I utilized group policy to deploy the certificate.
\n\n
Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Group Policy Management.
In the console tree, double-click Group Policy Objects in the forest and domain containing the Default Domain Policy Group Policy object (GPO) that you want to edit.
Right-click the Default Domain Policy GPO, and then click Edit.
In the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC), go to Computer Configuration, Windows Settings, Security Settings, and then click Public Key Policies.
Right-click the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store.
Click Import and follow the steps in the Certificate Import Wizard to import the certificates.
From the workstation you will be testing from perform a group policy update using gpupdate /force or reboot the machine.
Launch iexplore.exe
Navigate to the Content tab and click Certificates.
Click on the Trusted Root Certification Authorities tab and scroll down and validate the certificate chosen in the previous step is present.
\n\n
\n\n
In order to configure your browser with a Proxy Server, within Internet Explorer Settings navigate to the Connections tab and click LAN settings.
Enable the checkbox for Use a proxy server for your LAN.
Address: swgkrb.demo.lab
Port: 3128
Click OK twice.
\n\n
\n\n
Testing our Solution
\n\n
Now the time you've been waiting for. F5 said it has the ability but only way to validate is test yourself. So let's get to the bottom of this F5 explicit web proxy claim by F5 and test for ourselves.
\n\n
From the browser configured in the step above, navigate to https://nfl.com.
\n\n
\n\n
Once the page is rendered, you should not receive a certificate error.
Click the Lock next to the refresh button and validate the certificate was issued from the signing certificate configured in previous steps.
Once validated, navigate back to the TMUI > Access > Overview > Active Sessions
Validate an access session is present for the request for https://nfl.com
\n\n
\n\n
Next we will validate users are not able to access YouTube.com as defined in our URL filter.
\n\n
From the client browser, attempt to navigate to youtube.com where you should be presented with an blocked page from the BIG-IP.
\n\n
\n\n
Validate and View Reporting
\n\n
Now that we have successfully validated functionality, we must ensure that we can meet the customers final requirement which is reporting.
\n\n
From the TMUI navigate to Access > Overview > SWG Reports > Overview
\n\n
\n\n
Navigate to Access > Overview > SWG Reports > All Requests
As a review, the customer requirements were to provide the following:
\n\n
URL filtering
Content filtering
Logs and statistics on end user browsing.
Single Sign On using Kerberos authentication.
\n\n

Excellent article!!!
\n
Really helps a lot.
\n
By any chance do you have a guide in how to make a sizing exercise for this solutions with this components?
\n
And another one: I was reading the guide \"replacing TMG\" and makes a reference of using \"AFM\" but in your article and many playbooks that I have checked, I haven't seen that recommendation, my question would be: Do I need it?. The question comes from an economical point of view. If we go \"best\" is an elevated price vs. having LTM + APM + SWG.
