Application Identification (AppID)

Authentication support in proxy profiles (SRX Series, cSRX, and vSRX)—You can enhance your network's security by configuring authentication within proxy profiles, allowing secure access to external feeds and services. By setting a username and password, you enable authenticated HTTPS communication through a proxy, supporting services such as SecIntel, AppID, Content Security, and PKID. This configuration prevents unverified data sources from accessing protected environments. To configure the feature, set a username and password in your proxy profile and use HTTPS to encrypt credentials, mitigating security vulnerabilities. Regularly update passwords and monitor for unauthorized access to maintain security integrity.
