Customize the Secure Access PAC File

To bypass domains, you can add Internal Domains in Secure Access. Secure Access copies the configured internal domains to the Secure Access default PAC file. Web traffic on the internal domains is not sent to the Secure Access proxy. For information about internal domains, see Manage Domains.

After you download the default PAC file from Secure Access, you can edit the PAC file and add more domains. Then, upload the customized PAC file to Secure Access or host this PAC file in your environment. Secure Access does not update the Internal Domains in a customized PAC file. Secure Access only modifies the default PAC file with the Internal Domains that you add in Secure Access.

Note: Secure Access supports IP-based domains. You must enter the IP in the browser’s address bar as the domain portion of the URL. For example, https://1.2.3.4/URLpath/. The PAC file does not resolve a domain to IP before matching an IP-based domain for bypass.
