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?

Mike

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!
