Description | This article describes how to troubleshoot ICAP. |
Scope | FortiGate. |
Solution |
Introduction: ICAP (Internet Content Adaptation Protocol) is an application layer protocol for offloading responsibilities from the firewall to dedicated servers.
Only policies that use proxy-based inspection can use ICAP profiles. When ICAP is enabled in a policy, all HTTP and HTTPS traffic intercepted by the policy (if Deep inspection is supported) is sent to the ICAP server defined by the selected ICAP profile. The FortiGate receives responses from the ICAP server and forwards them to their intended destination.
To troubleshoot connection issues between FortiGate and the ICAP server:
Collect the following sniffer output:
diagnose debug disable
To disable debugs:
diagnose debug disable
Note: Starting FortiOS v7.4.4, this feature is not supported anymore on FortiGate models with 2GB RAM or less, since Proxy-related features are not supported on FortiGate 2GB RAM models to enhance performance and optimize memory usage. See: Proxy-related features not supported on FortiGate 2 GB RAM models for more info.
