Active Filtering Profiles

Active filtering profiles include the global group profile, over- ride account profile, time profile, and lock profile.

NOTE: For information about authentication filtering profiles, see the 8e6 ProxyBlocker Authentication User Guide.

Global Filtering Profile

The global filtering profile is created by the global adminis- trator. This profile is used as the default filtering profile. The global filtering profile consists of a customized profile that contains a list of library categories to block, open, add to a white list, or assign a warn setting, and service ports that are configured to be blocked. A URL can be specified for use instead of the standard block page when users attempt to access material set up to be blocked. Various filter options can be enabled.

Override Account Profile

If any user needs access to a specified URL that is set up to be blocked, the global administrator or group administrator can create an override account for that user. This account grants the user access to areas set up to be blocked on the Internet.

Time Profile

A time profile is a customized filtering profile set up to be effective at a specified time period for designated users.

Lock Profile

This filtering profile blocks the end user from Internet access for a set period of time, if the end user’s profile has the X Strikes Blocking filter option enabled and he/she has received the maximum number of strikes for inappropriate Internet usage.
