Version 1.3.2.1 Introduction This guide describes how to use Blue Coat Management Center to set up, monitor, and manage Blue Coat devices, and is intended for administrators. Delegated administrators might not be able to perform all of the tasks described in this guide. This document describes how to install Management Center for the first time. Management Center 1.3.2.1 is a virtual appliance release, and supports the following devices: ProxySG appliances running SGOS 6.2.x and later (reporting requires SGOS 6.3.x and later) Content Analysis appliance integration Malware Analysis appliance support Refer to the Blue Coat Management Center Release Notes on the BTO download page to determine requirements for your virtualization environment and compatibility with third-party products. Management Center Features and Benefits Some of the features and benefits of using Management Center are: Feature Management Center provides centralized management for up to 500 devices. Groups devices based on location, department, purpose, and other attributes that you specify. Roles have greater flexibility, enabling user groups with the same permissions to access and manage policies and devices within their specific organization. Manages internal and external user accounts for Management Center. Facilitates creating and deploying policy to multiple devices simultaneously. Includes Virtual Policy Management and consistency checking between policies and devices Manage attributes for devices, device groups, policy and device scripts Create, edit and execute scripts. Includes the ability to compare script versions and to import a script from a managed device Benefit Eliminate the need to manage each remote device manually, reducing management costs. Delegate administrative duties and deploy policies for specific groups. Enables administrators to assign attributes for managed devices that have different purposes within their network. User Groups with the same permissions access, manage, and can report on devices within their management area without overlapping job duties and wasting time and resources. Apply roles to user groups that you need to have homogenous results (for example user groups that are in specific locations or have a specific job function). Users only access the functional areas and perform tasks required for their jobs. Ensure consistency amongst devices that have the same purpose or require standardized policy. Administrators can manage policy using the Visual Policy Manager on managed devices from within the Management Center web console. Use attributes to define custom metadata for devices, device groups, policy and device scripts. Filter on attributes to refine searches for all objects. Administrators can create and edit scripts as well as execute scripts on managed devices. Variable replacement is supported, as well as the ability to check versions of a saved script and to import a script from a device. 3

Version 1.3.2.1 Feature Audit log records user and system event history Reports on device performance Storing device backups on an external server Job scheduling to automate repetitive tasks Benefit Be aware of all user actions in the system and support organizational accountability. Assess how changes to the network affect performance and proactively reduce their impact. Enables administrators to export backups to external servers using any of the following 4 protocols: FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, or SCP Administrators can set up jobs to automate tasks that recur or are otherwise inefficient to perform manually. Additional permissions are required to perform some jobs.

Proceed to the next step Before proceeding to the next step, verify that Management Center has been configured correctly. See Verify Web Console Access. Then, go to Retrieve and Install the License. Configure Explicit Proxy Perform these steps if you have an explicit proxy deployment. Because Management Center is deployed behind the ProxySG appliance, you must configure proxy settings in an explicit deployment. If the proxy configuration is missing or incorrect, Management Center will be unable to connect to BTO for license downloads. 1. Log on to the CLI. See Log on to the CLI for instructions. 2. To enable use of the proxy server, issue the following command: #http-proxy enable 3. To configure the explicit proxy, issue the following command and specify the settings: # http-proxy configure HTTP Proxy host: <proxy_ip_address_or_hostname> HTTP Proxy port: <proxy_port_number> Username: <proxy_username> Password: <proxy_password> 4. (Recommended) Issue the #show setupinfo command to display and verify the proxy settings you entered. The proxy settings display in the HTTP Proxy Settings section of the command output. For more information on configuring proxy settings in the web console, refer to the Management Center Solutions Webguide on BTO. To configure proxy settings using the CLI, refer to the ProxySG CLI Reference Guide. Retrieve and Install the License The Management Center license contains data that is used to uniquely identify the VA as a Blue Coat appliance. Make sure that you are connected to the internet while performing this procedure. 14

1. Log on to the CLI. See Log on to the CLI for instructions. 2. Enter privileged mode from standard mode by using the enable command. The prompt changes from a > to a #, indicating that you are in privileged mode. 3. At the # command prompt, type the following command and press Enter: #license get-from-bluecoat Refer to #license in the Management Center CLI Reference Guide for information. 4. Restart the Management Center services. See Restart Services. 5. Go to the Management Center web console in a web browser. See Verify Web Console Access. If a license is not installed and the VA is powered on, users will be unable to load the Management Center web console. Update an existing license To update an existing license, you can run the #license get-from-url CLI command. In addition, the VA must be allowed access to the following Blue Coat server: https://device-services.es.bluecoat.com/ 15

Log on to the CLI You can log on to the CLI through an SSH connection, or through the VMware console. For hardware appliances running Management Center, you can access the CLI over the serial console. Log on using SSH 1. Install an SSH client. This procedure uses PuTTY as an example; your steps might be slightly different. 2. Open PuTTY and specify the following information: Host Name (or IP address) The IP address that you specified for Management Center Port 22 3. (Optional) Specify a name for the connection and click Save to save the settings. 4. Click Open. The SSH window opens, with a login prompt. 5. At the login as: prompt, type admin and press Enter. 6. At the admin@ip_address's password: prompt, type your password and press Enter. The console displays the CLI banner. Log on through the VMware console Use the VMware console or SSH if you are logging into a Virtual Appliance. 1. In the VMware client, browse to Management Center VM in the inventory. 2. Select the VM, right click, and select Open Console. The console displays the CLI console and prompts you to press Enter three times. 3. Press Enter three times. The console displays the CLI banner. Verify Web Console Access After you install a new license or update an existing license, verify that you can access the web console. Refer to the Management Center Release Notes for a list of supported browsers. 1. Open a web browser. 2. In the address bar, enter the URL in one of the formats in the following table, and then press Enter: http://<ip_address>:8080 https://<ip_address>:8082 where <IP_address> is the IP address you specified in the CLI. Note that you cannot change these port numbers. The web browser displays the Management Center login screen. If the web console does not load, run the CLI command # license view to determine if the license was installed and is valid. 16

Prevent Licensing Issues To prevent licensing issues, ensure that the VA is allowed network access to the license validation server at https://validation.es.bluecoat.com. See Verify Web Console Access. If communication with the server fails, the license may be suspended. A constant internet connection is required for Management Center to communicate regularly with the license validation server to confirm that the serial number is valid. Duplicate Serial Numbers If the license validation server detects duplicate serial numbers, your license is invalidated and the license health status goes to a critical state. Verify your license in BCLP and contact Blue Coat Support if you continue to have problems. Expiring Licenses Management Center health goes into a Warning state when the license is 15 days from expiring. For example, if the license will expire on January 30th, the Messages option in the web console banner displays Warning-level alerts, such as the following, starting on January 15th. The web console banner displays an alert for each licensed component. Once the license expires, Management Center goes into an Error state and remains in that state for another 15 days or until the license is updated (whichever occurs first). For example, starting on January 30th, the Messages option in the web console banner displays Warning-level alerts for each licensed component until the license is renewed. If you do not renew the license within 15 days after the expiration date, you will be unable to load the web console. You must renew the license through the CLI using # license get-from-bluecoat or # license get-from-url. 17

Update the Management Center License If you are running Management Center and you are unable to see some of the features as documented, the following has occurred: The Management Center license contains all of the features for which you have purchased a subscription. As a result, not all features are visible to all users. You can update your existing license from BTO, download the license from a web server or workstation, or install it manually. To upgrade your license to expose additional features, please contact Blue Coat Systems, Inc. 1. In the web console banner, click the Help icon (?). 2. In the drop-down list, select License. The web console displays the License dialog. 3. To view detailed license component information, select the License Components tab. 4. To determine how you will install the license, select the Install New License tab. See the following sections for instructions. 5. After you complete the license installation, do one of the following: Run the CLI command # restart services. See Restart Services. Log in to the CLI via an SSH connection. Power off the VA, and then power it back on. 6. Go to the Management Center web console in a web browser. If the web console loads, the license was installed successfully. If the web console does not load, run the CLI command # license view to determine if the license was installed and is valid. Install the license from BTO You must install the license from BTO using the #license getfrom-bluecoat command at least once before you can install it from BTO using the web console. 1. Select Install from BTO. 2. Enter your BTO User ID and BTO Password. 3. Click Install License. 4. Click Refresh to display the updated license information in the License Components table.
