URL Access Policy - Administration Guide
Hi,
I'm working my way thru the Administration Guide and I'm looking at the URL
Access Policy. I added a URL to allow (http://www.yahoo.com) and a URL to
deny (http://www.sportsline.com) for my user fooUser in MyDomain_1. I then
login the IP Portal as fooUser.
What form of the URL is the Bookmarks URL entry box expecting? I have tried
the following and gotten the corresponding results:
http://www.sportsline.com access allowed
http://www.yahoo.com access allowed
http://myServer:myPort/http://www.sportsline.com page cannot be found
http://myServer:myPort/http://www.yahoo.com page cannot be found
http://myServer:myPort/www.sportsline.com page cannot be found
http://myServer:myPort/www.yahoo.com page cannot be found
I also tried http://myServer:myPort/MyDomain_1/www.sportsline.com and got
page cannot be found
Can someone shed some light on this for me?

You should be able to just put in the URL as you normally would.
Now, if you are running through the SRAP gateway (versus "open mode")
the url that should be launched in your browser should automatically append
the url to your gateway, with some characters escaped, so it would be (I hope
this doesn't get converted to a link!)
http://myServer:myPort/http%3A//www.sportsline.com
But! (I'm not 100% on this). If the website is not in your domain, the gateway
does not care. It will let you access it, as it is implicit that you could open
a separate browser window and access the site directly.
In open mode (without the gateway), basically, everything is open, so
it doesn't make much sense to be able to block it. If you don't put it
in the URL Bookmarks box, then you could just open a new browser
window and access it directly!
