Setting up IM and P2P

IM and P2P are set up in the System and Library sections of
the Administrator console.
1. In the System section, activate Pattern Blocking in the
Filter window.
2. In the Library section, note the services set up to be
blocked, as defined at: http://www.m86security.com/
software/8e6/hlp/ifr/files/1system_im_block.html.
NOTE: Please contact an M86 technical support representative
or a solutions engineer if access is needed to one or more P2P
services blocked by M86's supplied library category for P2P.
3. In the Manual Update to M86 Supplied Categories
window (accessible via Library > Updates > Manual
Update), IM pattern files can be updated on demand.

Using IM and P2P

To solely log IM and/or P2P user activity, the Pattern
Blocking setting needs to be enabled in the Filter window.
To additionally block specified groups and/or users from
using components and features of IM and/or P2P, settings
need to be made in the Policy section of the Administrator
console.
If applying M86's supplied IM and/or P2P library category to
an entity's profile, all IM and/or P2P services included in that
category will be blocked.
NOTE: If IM and/or P2P was set up to be blocked while a user's
IM and/or P2P session was in progress, the user will not be
blocked from using that service until he/she logs off the server
and back on again.
