Temporary disable access to the WSA

[Henk Fictorie - Ulrich]

We have 4 WSA we want to upgrade, we are going to upgrade them 2 by 2. During the upgrade we want to test the new version and therefore temporary disable the two WSA's running the old version.

Is it enough to disable the Web/FTP/SOCK etc. functions. Questions:

- Does the WSA stops listening on the configured ports or will it actively refuse connections on those ports.

- Does the WSA remain the settings configured for the Web/FTP/SOCK and re-enabling is quick

regards  Henk

According to my testing, WSA still can receive the incoming request after Web Proxy has been disabled. However all requests can't go anywhere as proxy can't process any request due to feature has been disabled.

WSA remains the settings configured for the Web/FTP/SOCK after it has been disabled/re-enabled.

Please rate or mark the question as answered if this helps.

Thanks.

I ended up temporary changing the port numbers for the services and changing them back afterwards.
