What does the Forwarding Profile PAC control?

The Forwarding Profile PAC primarily controls the system PAC file and the HTTP proxy used for URLs. A PAC (Proxy Auto-Configuration) file enables automatic configuration of web proxies for web browsers and is critical for directing web traffic appropriately based on specified rules.

When a user’s device makes a web request, the PAC file dictates which proxy server to use or whether to connect directly to the destination. This ensures efficient routing of network traffic and helps maintain performance and security standards by determining the appropriate path for requests based on conditions such as URLs or network types.

The other options do not accurately capture the full function of the Forwarding Profile PAC. While the routing configuration and security protocols are essential aspects of network management, they are not the primary focus of the Forwarding Profile PAC, which is centered on how traffic is forwarded through proxies. Therefore, the answer that specifies the system PAC file and HTTP proxy is the most accurate reflection of what the Forwarding Profile PAC controls.
