X Strikes Blocking
Next, the actual parameters of the X-Strike feature need to be configured.
1. Select
SYSTEM
from the top level administrator console.
2. Click X Strikes Blocking.
3. Make the following settings:
a. Select
On
radio button to reset X-Strike Count upon authentication (resets
counter for each new user).
b. Set
Maximum Strikes Before Locking the Workstation
. The number
entered in this field determines how many time a user can attempt to access
blocked content before that user is prevented from further Internet access.
For example, if the threshold is set at 5, then on the user’s fifth attempt to
access blocked sites, the computer will be locked down—
if that attempt is
made within the time threshold set in step 3b
. The lock disables further
access and, instead only displays a block page indicating the reason that
access has been blocked.
c. Set the
Time Span in Minutes to Track the No. Strikes Within Category
.
The number entered in this field determines how long the strikes will be moni-
tored to qualify for a lockdown. For example, if the threshold is set at 5
(minutes) and the Maximum Strikes threshold is set at 5 (attempts), a user
who attempts to access five blocked sites being monitored by the X-Strikes
feature in a five minute (or less) period of time will be locked out of the
Internet and the administrator will be notified. However, if the user attempts to
access five blocked sites over the course of an entire day, the standard block
page will appear and Internet access will not be locked.
