Websense
Enterprise Filtering
Websense Enterprise filtering is a third party software package that
allows you to apply content filtering through the Webcache. An external
Websense Enterprise Server is queried for every Web request the
Webcache receives. Websense Enterprise then decides whether to allow
or deny the request. When you configure your Webcache to use
Websense Enterprise filtering, the Manual Filtering and the 3Com Web
Site Filtering commands on the Webcache will be disabled.
When a client computer attempts to access a Web site, the Webcache
applies the following rules in the order listed:
1
Web Client Blocking — If Web Client Blocking has been activated the
Webcache checks to see if the client is on the Web Client Blocking List.
Unauthorized clients will be blocked. See
“Web Client Blocking”
on
page 161
for more information.
2
Websense Enterprise Server Status — If the Websense Enterprise Server
does not respond then the Webcache will filter according to the Default
Rule (
Allow All
or
Deny All
) otherwise it will continue with the next rule.
See
“Default Rule”
on
page 159
for more information about the Default
Rule.
3
Websense Enterprise Server — The Webcache asks the Websense
Enterprise Server if the Web site should be filtered. See below for a
summary of the installation of Websense Enterprise filtering software and
follow the instructions in
“Setting Up Websense Enterprise Filtering on
your Webcache”
on
page 156
to set up your Webcache to use Websense
Enterprise filtering. Refer to the documentation provided by Websense
for more information about the Websense Enterprise filtering software.
The
Filter Exclusion
,
Allow
,
Deny
, and
Keyword Blocking
lists are ignored
when using a Websense Enterprise filtering Server.
