Exception
URL:
The
Exception URL window displays when Exception URL is selected from
an IP/LDAP menu in the navigation panel. This window is used for
allowing specified users to be blocked from accessing designated
URLs and/or to be allowed to access designated URLs blocked at the
minimum filtering level.
NOTE: Settings in this window work in conjunction with those made
in the Override Account window and in the Minimum Filtering Level
window maintained by the global administrator. Users with an override
account will be able to access URLs set up to be blocked in this
window, if the global administrator activates bypass settings in
the Minimum Filtering Bypass Options tab.
A URL can contain a domain name such as http://www.yahoo.com or
an IP address such as http://216.109.118.77/. The asterisk (*) wildcard
and period (.) can be used in the URL entry. For example: *.yahoo.com
will block all URLs containing the text following the period and
asterisk. A minimum of three wildcard levels can be entered (e.g.
*.yahoo.com), up to a maximum of six wildcard levels, (e.g. *.mail.attachments.message.yahoo.com).
The following
types of URL formats also can be entered in this window:
• octal format - e.g. http://0106.0125.0226.0322
• hexadecimal short format - e.g. http://0x465596d2
• hexadecimal long format - e.g. http://0x46.0x55.0x96.0xd2
• decimal value format - e.g. http://1180014290
• escaped hexadecimal format - e.g. http://
%57%57%57.%41%44%44%49%43%54%49%4E%47%47%41%4D%45%
53.%43%4F%4D
• query string format - e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?=v=3_Wfnj1llMU
