Issue/Introduction

The Visual Policy Manager (VPM) does not have a Source object for a Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 user agent. To specify Internet Explorer as a source object, create a custom object:

1. In the ProxySG Management Console, launch the VPM (Configuration > Policy > Visual Policy Manager > Launch). 
2. In any layer with a source column (Web Authentication, for example) create a new rule. 
3. Right click the Any field in the Source column of the new rule. 
4. Click Set and then click New. 
5. Click Request Header. 
6. Enter a name for the header. 
7. Select User-Agent from the Header Name menu. 
8. Type "rv:11.0" (without the quotation marks) in the Header Regex field. 
9. Click OK. 

You can use the Internet Explorer 11 user agent object in any rule.
