wizard you can apply one or more tags to a URL. For tags to work, you must perform the
configuration steps in both places.
There are, however, three system tags: Globally allowed sites, Globally blocked sites,
and Never send to Sandstorm. These tags only appear in the Local Site List Editor
dialog box’s tag drop-down list. Their actions are predefined and match what their name
indicates. The Globally allowed sites tag will not override the behavior expected as a
result of a site’s risk class.
Note: There is no need to delete tags. Any tags that are not applied to URLs in the Local
Site List and that do not have an additional policy set are automatically removed every
Sunday night at midnight.
■
Select Override the risk class, and select the risk class that you want to use from the
drop-down list.
■
Select Override the category, and select the category that you want to use from the
drop-down list.
4. Optionally, add a comment explaining why you are treating the URL this way.
This is useful for future reference and for other administrators.
5. Click Save.
The Local Site List editor closes, and the new local site list entry that you configured is
viewable in the Local Site List.

4.2.6 Testing Policy Applied to a URL
The Configuration > Group Policy > Policy Test page allows you to test what policy is applied
to a specified URL for a specified user.
1. Enter the URL or IP address that you want to test in the URL or IP address text box.
2. Enter the name of the user or IP address that you want to test in the Username or IP address
text box.
You must enter either the Active Directory username in the Down-Level Logon Name format
(for example,
DOMAIN\username
), or the eDirectory username (for example,
user.context
).
3. Optionally, select the Test for a page request at check box and select the time and day from
the adjacent controls.
You can set the times by clicking beside either the hour, minute, or meridian (AM or PM) setting
and scrolling with your mouse wheel until you get the time that you want.
