GLOBAL ADMINISTRATOR SECTION CHAPTER 2: GROUP SCREEN

X Strikes Blocking

With the X Strikes Blocking option enabled, an end user who attempts to access inappropriate sites on the Internet will be locked out from his/her workstation after a specified number of tries within a fixed time period.

NOTE: See the X Strikes Blocking window in Chapter 1: System screen for information on setting up the X Strikes Blocking feature.

Google/Yahoo!/Ask.com/AOL Safe Search Enforcement

With the Google/Yahoo!/Ask.com/AOL Safe Search Enforcement option enabled, Google, Yahoo!, Ask.com, and AOL’s “strict” SafeSearch Filtering option will be used whenever end users perform a Google, Yahoo!, Ask.com, or AOL Web search or Image search.

WARNINGS: This feature is not compatible with the proxy envi- ronment as it will cause overblocking.

An inappropriate image will only be blocked if that image is included in 8e6’s library or is blocked by Google, Yahoo!, Ask.com, or AOL.

If this option is used in conjunction with the X Strikes Blocking feature and a user is performing an inappropriate Google, Yahoo!, Ask.com, or AOL Image search, the number of strikes that user will receive is based upon the amount of time it will take for unacceptable Google, Yahoo!, Ask.com, or AOL images returned by the query to load on the page. The user will receive only one strike if all inappropriate images load within the toler- ance time range of a given strike.
