Adding Authorized And Prohibited Sites; Customizing Messages For Users - McAfee TSA00M005PAA - Total Protection Service Product Manual

Using Browser Protection and Web Filtering

Customizing messages for users

Use the "." character at the beginning of a site pattern to match a specific domain. For
convenience, the "." character disregards the protocol and introductory characters.
Example: .mcafee.com
Matches
• http://www.info.mcafee.com
• http://mcafee.com
• http://ftp.mcafee.com

Adding authorized and prohibited sites

Use this web filtering task to create and manage an Exceptions list for browser protection.
An Exceptions list contains:
• Authorized sites that users are always allowed to access.
• Prohibited sites that users are never allowed to access.
This feature is available only with versions of the browser protection service that include the
web filtering module.
Task
For option definitions, click ? in the interface.
1 On the Policies page, click Add Policy (or click Edit to modify an existing policy).
2 Select Browser Protection & Web Filtering, then click the Exceptions tab.
3 Click Add to Exceptions List.
4 Type a URL or site pattern into the text box, then click an action to associate with the site.
• Authorize — Add the site to the Exceptions list as an authorized site, which users are
always allowed to access.
• Prohibit — Add the site to the Exceptions list as a prohibited site, which users are not
allowed to access.
• Cancel — Close the text box without adding the site to the list.
5 Repeat step 4 for each site you want to add to the list.
6 Click Save. (For a new policy, click Next, select additional options for the policy, then
click Save.)
Customizing messages for users
Use this task to create a message that displays when users attempt to access sites that are
blocked.
The message appears when users attempt to access a site you have blocked by ratings, by
content, or by adding it to the Exceptions list as a prohibited site. Instead of navigating to the
site, users are redirected to a page displaying the customized message. You might use the
message to explain why the site is blocked.
The message appears on client computers in the language configured for the client software,
if you have created the message in that language.
