How to define Microsoft Edge browser user agent

Products

• Cloud Secure Web Gateway - Cloud SWG
• Advanced Secure Gateway Software - ASG
• ProxySG Software - SGOS

Issue/Introduction

SG have information for user agent defined for well known browsers such as Microsoft IE, Chrome, Firefox, Netscape, Opera and Safari. However, it doesn't include the Microsoft Edge browser. The customer would like to add it into the trusted source browser in the SG.

Environment

You would like to define a browser user agent for matching new browser "Microsoft Edge" into the SG/WSS UPE as a source object.

Cause

Since Microsoft Edge browser is relatively new, and it has not been defined yet in the SG by default.

Resolution

Please create an source object for "Request Header" with RegEx "^Mozilla\/\d+\..*Edge\/\d+.\d+$":

Example for Web Access Layer allow rules:
VPM:



CPL code:

<Proxy>
request.header.User-Agent="^Mozilla\/\d+\..*Edge\/\d+.\d+$" Allow

Notes:

1. WSS Cloud and Transparent proxy need to have the SSL Intercept enabled to allow user agent visibility to SG/WSS for HTTPS/SSL requests.

2. For WSS, the custom user agent can only be done through MC UPE "Universal Policy Enforcement".
