filter setting
- A setting made for a service port. A service
port with a filter setting uses filter settings created for library
categories (block, open, or always allow settings) to deter-
mine whether users should be denied or allowed access to
that port.
firewall mode
- A Web Filter set up in the firewall mode will
filter all requests. If the request is appropriate, the original
packet will pass unchanged. If the request is inappropriate,
the original packet will be blocked from being routed
through.
global administrator
- An authorized administrator of the
network who maintains all aspects of the Web Filter, except
for managing master IP groups, LDAP domains, and each
member’s associated filtering profile. The global adminis-
trator configures the Web Filter, sets up master IP groups
and LDAP domains, and performs routine maintenance on
the server.
group administrator
- An authorized administrator of the
network who maintains a master IP group or LDAP domain/
group, and sets up and manages members within the group/
domain. This administrator also adds and maintains
customized library categories for group/domain members.
group name
- The name of a group set up for a domain on
an Windows Active Directory server. For example: “produc-
tion” or “sales”.
invisible mode
- A Web Filter set up in the invisible mode
will filter all connections on the Ethernet between client PCs
and the Internet, without stopping each IP packet on the
same Ethernet segment. The unit will only intercept a
session if an inappropriate request was submitted by a
client.
LDAP
- The authentication method protocol used by the
Web Filter. Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is
a directory service protocol based on entries (Distinguished
Names).
