Cisco ScanCenter Administrator Guide, Release 5.2

Hosted Configuration

The hosted configuration area of Cisco ScanCenter enables you to upload and manage configuration files such as for PAC (proxy auto-config) and Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Web Security.

Note the following prerequisites when working with hosted configuration:

Test the PAC files to ensure that they function correctly before uploading them to Cisco ScanCenter.
Upload the unscrambled version of the AnyConnect Web Security configuration file. The file is scrambled before it is served to your users, but you will still be able to download the plain text version.
Allow access to the ingress IP addresses of the CWS towers/proxies for AnyConnect Web Security using TCP port 443 (and port 8080 in the case of deploying in plain mode). The list of proxies can be found at http://80.254.145.118/websecurity-config-v2ip.xml. This applies to the AnyConnect Web Security client in general, regardless of hosted configuration.
The client itself must also be able to access 80.254.145.118 on TCP port 80 which it uses to fetch the list of proxy towers and keep itself up to date. This applies to the AnyConnect Web Security client in general, regardless of hosted configuration.
Allow the AnyConnect Web Security module to make connections to Verisign over TCP port 80. On this range, clients check the certificate of revocation at Tj.symcb.com, T1.symcb.com, and T2.symcb.com.
The AnyConnect client downloads its configuration files from the resource service through a hardcoded hostname in the AnyConnect binary. The request is made to hostedconfig.scansafe.net (IP address: 46.255.41.2). The exchange is encrypted over TCP port 443.
Ensure clients are using the same license key (company/group/user) that is associated with the Hosted Config that is defined and hosted in Cisco ScanCenter.
Client machines running the AnyConnect Web Security agent must have the Thawte Primary Root CA and Thawte SSL CA–G2 in the Trusted Root Certification Authority Store.

To view your hosted configuration files, click the Admin tab to display the administration menus. Then, in the Management menu, click Hosted Config.
