INTRODUCTORY SECTION CHAPTER 1: FILTERING OPERATIONS

Filtering Profile Components

Filtering profiles are comprised of the following compo- nents:

•library categories - used when creating a rule, minimum filtering level, or filtering profile for the global group or any entity

•service ports - used when setting up filter segments on the network, creating the global group (default) filtering profile, or establishing the minimum filtering level

•rules - specify which library categories should be blocked, left open (a set number of minutes in which that category remains open can be defined), assigned a warn setting, or white listed

•filter options - specify which features will be enabled: X Strikes Blocking, Google/Yahoo!/Ask.com/AOL Safe Search Enforcement, Search Engine Keyword Filter Control, URL Keyword Filter Control

•minimum filtering level - takes precedence over filtering profiles of entities who are using a filtering profile other than the global (default) filtering profile

•filter settings - used by service ports, filtering profiles, rules, and the minimum filtering level to indicate whether users should be granted or denied access to specified Internet content
