ECTION PPENDIX
protocol - A type of format for transmitting data between
two devices. LDAP and SMB are types of authentication
method protocols.
proxy server - An appliance or software that accesses the
Internet for the user's client PC. When a client PC submits a
request for a Web page, the proxy server accesses the
page from the Internet and sends it to the client. A proxy
server may be used for security reasons or in conjunciton
with caching for bandwidth and performance reasons.
quota - The number of minutes configured for a passed
library category in an end user's profile that lets him/her
access URLs for a specified time before being blocked from
further access to that category
Radius - This feature is used for controlling the filtering
levels of dial-up users. The Radius accounting server deter-
mines which accounts will be filtered and how they will be
filtered. The user profile in the Radius accounting server
holds the filter definition for the user.
Real Time Probe - On the Web Filter, this tool is used for
monitoring the Internet activity of specified users in real
time. The report generated by the probe lets the adminis-
trator know whether end users are using the Internet appro-
priately.
router mode - A Web Filter set up in the router mode will act
as an Ethernet router, filtering IP packets as they pass from
one card to another. While all original packets from client
PCs are allowed to pass, if the Web Filter determines that a
request is inappropriate, a block page is returned to the
client to replace the actual requested Web page or service.
rule - A filtering component comprised of library categories
set up to be blocked, opened, always allowed, or set up with
a warning and/or a time quota. Each rule created by the
global administrator is assigned a number and a name that
should be indicative of its theme. Rules are used when
creating filtering profiles for entities on the network.
