You can enter the IP address of a single user. For example, 192.168.100.19
255.255.255.255. You can also enter a subnet of a group of users. For example,
192.168.100.0 255.255.255.0.
5Enter an alias for the user.
The alias is used as the user name when you add the user to a user group on the
Cerberian server. If you do not enter an alias, the user’s IP is used and added to the
default group on the Cerberian server.

Configuring Cerberian web filter
After you add the Cerberian web filter users on the FortiGate unit, you can add these
users to the user groups on the Cerberian web filter server. Then you can create
policies and apply these policies to the user groups.
About the default group and policy
There is a default user group, which is associated with a default policy, that exists on
the Cerberian web filter server.
You can add users to the default group and apply any policies to the group.
Use the default group to add:
All the users who are not assigned alias names on the FortiGate unit.
All the users who are not assigned to other user groups.
The Cerberian web filter groups URLs into 53 categories. The default policy blocks the
URLs of 12 categories. You can modify the default policy and apply it to any user
groups.
To configure Cerberian web filtering
1Add the user name, which is the alias you added on the FortiGate unit, to a user group
on the Cerberian server.
Web policies can be applied only to user groups. If you did not enter an alias for a
user’s IP address on the FortiGate unit, the user’s IP address is automatically added
to the default Cerberian group.
2Create policies by selecting the web categories that you want to block.
3Apply the policy to a user group that contains the user.
For detailed procedures, see the online help on the Cerberian Web Filter web page.
