Add HTTP Inspection Policy: Select Accounts

HTTP > HTTP Inspection > Policies > Add

Filters are required to add an HTTP Inspection policy. Several default filters are provided, but to create a policy using a custom filter, you must create the filters first at HTTP > HTTP Inspection > Filters. Acceptable accounts include a single IP address, an IP range, or an IP mask for both IPv4 and/or IPv6 accounts.

• Enable policy—Enable or disable the individual policy.

• Note: If you have HTTP Inspection policies disabled at the global level (through HTTP > HTTP Inspection > Policies), the enabled status of an individual policy will be ignored.

• Create new policy—Type a brief but descriptive name for the policy rule. Names must be unique, and will appear in the list of policies that appears when you click HTTP > HTTP Inspection > Policies.

• Select the users to which the policy apples—This depends upon the user identification method that you are using—either IP address, a range of IP addresses, IP subset, Hostname (modified HTTP headers), or User/group name authentication. For more information about configuring the user identification method and defining the scope of a policy, see the User Identification page.  MORE>>

  Important: Before choosing a Hostname, you need to prepare all clients on the LAN by running the following program on each client:

  /usr/iwss/bin/register_user_agent_header.exe

  This can be done by adding it to your Windows domain login script (or by creating one only for this purpose).
