270 8E6 TECHNOLOGIES, PROXYBLOCKER USER GUIDE
View the Current Selections
This window contains two list boxes:
• “No Weight” Categories - Populated with 8e6 supplied
categories
• “Weight” Categories - Pre-populated by default with cate-
gories 8e6 suggests you might want to use for this
feature.
The contents in each list box, combined with the end user’s
profile, help to determine what will appear in the log for the
end user’s Internet activity.
Method for Weighting Library Categories
The order of operational precedence is: Always Allowed,
Blocked, and Pass.
In the event that an end user attempts to access a URL that
exists in multiple categories, the highest operational prece-
dence would be logged.
If a URL exists in a category that is Always Allowed, as well
as a category set to be Blocked for that user, Always
Allowed would be logged because it holds the highest oper-
ational precedence.
However, if an end user attempts to access a URL set to be
Blocked in several categories, the category with the highest
weighting would be logged.
NOTE: If a URL exists in multiple un-weighted categories of the
same operational precedence, the category logged would be the
first one returned by the ProxyBlocker database. Since there is
no precedence given, the order in which the category is returned
would be random. While it is not necessary to weight all catego-
ries, it is recommended that the categories considered a threat
should be weighted according to your organization's threat
assessment for each category.
