HI all.
Dear we are using a lot of SWG2 appliances as proxies for filtering.

some time we got the following errors:

"ERROR
Access Denied

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Access Denied by security policy
The security policy for your network prevents your request from being
allowed at this time. Please contact your administrator if you feel
this is incorrect.
"
and some times

ERROR
Proxy Error
________________________________________
The proxy encountered an error.
Please try again later.

does any body face it before?
what does those errors mean? and is there a feature that will help to
get the details of the box which is causing that issues?

Are you using smartfilter? If so, you may need to adjust your application
defenses or possibly reconfigure allowed sites within smartfilter.

You may need to adjust the number of proxy connections allowed for the
proxy; it's possible that you simply don't have enough proxies configured
to handle the traffic.

When this is happening do the following
cf set loglevel=4

tcpdump -npi (interneal interface em1) -s 1500 -X -w filename
while this is running trying accessing the site that that is giving
you trouble. When you get the "Access Denied"
do a ctl c

start another ssh to the firewall and do a
acat -ak

Look for the "Access Denied"
review the filename for any denies.

Don't forget to reset
cf set loglevel=2

Cheers.
