This glossary includes definitions for terminology used in
this user guide.
M86 supplied category - A library category that was
created by M86, and includes a list of URLs, URL keywords,
and search engine keywords to be blocked.
always allowed - A filter category or port given this desig-
nation in a profile will be included in the white list. However,
this setting in a library category is overridden if the minimum
filtering level is set up to block that category.
block setting - A setting assigned to a service port or library
category when creating a rule, or when setting up a filtering
profile or the minimum filtering level. If an item is given a
block setting, users will be denied access to it.
custom category - A unique library category that is created
by an administrator, and can include URLs, URL keywords,
and search engine keywords to be blocked. Group adminis-
trators create and manage custom library categories for
their own group.
filter setting - A setting made for a service port. A service
port with a filter setting uses filter settings created for library
categories (block, open, warn, or always allow settings) to
determine whether users should be denied or allowed
access to that port.
firewall mode - A Web Filter set up in the firewall mode will
filter all requests. If the request is appropriate, the original
packet will pass unchanged. If the request is inappropriate,
the original packet will be blocked from being routed
through.
