Cisco doesn't document the internal process names publicly.

That said, there are a number of bugs related to the unicorn proxy process and if you believe it may be impacting your system's operation, a TAC case can be openend and the engineer will confirm and identify a remedy for you.

Thanks for the reply

If so i have another question we have SSL VPN for over 5,000 users and i want to know why the processor usage of this process is totally different from other.

it means Unicorn Proxy Thread is about 75%.

And the other one is 6%.

Please Help

The unicorn proxy handles things like webvpn URL rewriting and RDP authentication within a clientlesss SSL VPN (among other things). These could attribute to your observed high CPU usage.

The TAC could pull debug information and tell you precisely.
