WHO OBJECTS

Who objects are used to apply rules to certain individuals or groups. The default for Who objects is Anybody. The following objects are included in the Who tab:

Figure 7-1Who objects tab

Monitored Workstations

This rule object shows a list of workstations that are monitored by Web Filter manager, and stored in the database. It is not possible to manually add workstations to this list, because the information is obtained automatically from client machines that request internet access.

If workstations appear as IP addresses, you need to select Enable Workstation name resolution on the Advanced Settings tab in the Web Filter Service Settings. See "Advanced Tab" on page 104 for more details. You can refresh the list to show the most up to date monitored workstations by pressing F5.

Active Directory, NT and NetWare Domain Objects

These objects are obtained from the network domain, and only apply to local Active Directory, NT, or Novell NetWare networks. It is not possible to manually add Active Directory or NT Domain Objects to this list. You can refresh the list to show the most up to date monitored workstations by pressing F5. Depending on where Web Filter is installed, you will see the objects as described in the table below.
