Question 527

An organization conducts research on the benefits of leveraging the Web Proxy feature of PAN-OS 11.0.

What are two benefits of using an explicit proxy method versus a transparent proxy method? (Choose two.)

    Correct Answer: C, D

    One benefit of using an explicit proxy method is that it supports the X-Authenticated-User (XAU) header, which contains the authenticated username in the outgoing request. This feature is important for tracking and logging user activity. Another benefit is that explicit proxy allows for easier troubleshooting, as the client browser is aware of the existence of the proxy, making it simpler to diagnose and resolve issues related to web traffic.

C and ad correct

sov4Options: CD

CD absolutely. A and B isnt true... that would be transparent. C is true... it's in the documentation. D is also true because in it's nature an explicit proxy is "explicitly" defined on the users machine.

Knowledge33Options: CD

C&D, It's easy.

BryanSalazarOptions: AD

The PA DoC clearly says "There is no client configuration and Panorama is optional" & "Transparent proxy does not support X-Authenticated Users (XAU) "which clearly means that A&D is the correct one, https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/11-0/pan-os-new-features/networking-features/web-proxy

Correct for transparent proxy, but the question is asking for explicit proxy. CD

mlj23

Hit too send too soon...A is absolutely not correct as explicit proxy does require client config.

I'm really sorry to say that you're wrong, my friend. As mlj23 already told you, thank you so much, mlj23! It's totally okay! We're all here reviewing our study together. It's always a good idea to double-check before posting, just to be sure!
