what is a Shared Web Layer firewall

[west33637]

Shared Web Layer firewall - what is this? Is this another name for an application layer firewall filtering web traffic? We are tasked with deploying a cisco ASA 5520 as a shared web firewall. does anyone have any documentation on how this is accomplished. Anything will be good at this point.

Also, for site to site VPN tunnels, is there a special license/module that needs to run on the Cisco ASA for shared web firewalls? Thanks,

Can you provide some context for this request?

If you are looking after multiple separate clients and they all share the same firewall for Internet connectivity then you would need to setup a separate firewall context for each client.

See below a configuration example
