HTTP Listening port

This is the port that IWSVA listens on to receive connections

8080

Enable upstream proxy (check box)

Enable / disable upstream proxy

Leave unchecked if you do not use another proxy device upstream of IWSVA

Enable guest account

Guest mode provides a secondary proxy port that uses the Guest Policy and simplifies deployment without the need to authenticate guests before giving them access to the Internet.

In order to enable Internet connectivity to network users who are not in the LDAP directory and apply guest policies, this setting opens a guest port for Web clients to communicate with IWSVA.

Enable and accept the default port of 8081 if you want to support the secondary Guest proxy port. The Guest port can be changed if needed.
