Allow Skype Through WSA with wpad approach

Hi everyone,

 

I'm facing some issues with a customer where the Skype app is not working proplerly. Sometimes they cannot even connect to the service. They are using automatic proxy detection features with a wpad.dat file that controls if the traffic is or not sent by the proxies and which proxy should be used based on the IP address of the host.

When some user runs skype app on his computer I can see some requests directed to the WSA and some others sent directly to the ASA (this one drops these connections). At the end the app could either connect or not is random.

Somebody could give me some heads up about some workaround to allow the app through the WSA (Maybe I'm missing something)

Thanks in advance

 

Best Regards,

Jose.

Hello Jose,

I actually have the opposite issue, would you share with me a procedure to block skype in the web security appliance?

Regards!
