What types of users are you looking to block and to what resource?

I am afraid that blocking individual users from access to resources, ie policy rules to deny them access, are not possible.  However, if these users have the same IP address assigned all the time, then you can block by IP address.

 

by: abbasifttPosted on 2009-07-07 at 23:21:35ID: 24801035

these users are not allowed to browse. they should use only internal resources.

 

by: abbasifttPosted on 2009-07-07 at 23:22:08ID: 24801041

few are static IP and few are dynamic IP.

 

by: deimarkPosted on 2009-07-07 at 23:27:39ID: 24801074

As above, we cannot block users form browsing I'm afraid, thats the job of a decent web proxy.

But also as above, you can block via IP for the static IP users.

 

by: abbasifttPosted on 2009-07-07 at 23:42:30ID: 24801148

OK fine. I can make it static IP.
 Is it possible to allow few sites like yahoo mail (not messenger), msn messenger, gmail, for these IPs.

Thanks
MAS

 

by: abbasifttPosted on 2009-07-07 at 23:44:39ID: 24801160

I have web filtering enabled in the firewall.

 

by: deimarkPosted on 2009-07-08 at 00:30:32ID: 24801407

Yup, if you have web filtering, you can create a specific profile for the sites you want to allow and deny and then apply it in a security policy applied to the specific IPs you want,

Have a look at www.juniper.net/techpubs, drill down into screenos docs and then download the relevant docs for the UTM functions.  These will describe the process much better than I can.

DM

 

by: abbasifttPosted on 2009-07-20 at 23:02:27ID: 24901564

I enabled the webfiltering for one IP. even after peer to peer is still working.
Can you please guide me how to add these in the web filtering option.

 

by: deimarkPosted on 2009-07-21 at 00:36:58ID: 24901931

Can you tell us exactly what you mean with enabled webfiltering and peer to peer?  I think I have misunderstood you.

An extract of your config will do here bud.

Thanks

I want to block all IM software and downloads

 

by: deimarkPosted on 2009-07-21 at 01:14:14ID: 24902074

Then web filtering is not what you need bud.

Web filtering will allow you to set policies to allow or deny user access to specified websites, not IM and peer to peer.

BLocking IM and P2P is normally best done by an IDP device that can detect any dynamic port changes etc and then compensate, however, we can get around this by the following:

1.  Ensure you have DNS set on your firewall
2.  Add address book entries in the untrust zone for all the IM servers you want to block, ie MSN, yahoo etc.  Use the DNS names (which is why we need 1)
3.  Add all those addresses to a an address group
4.  Specify a security rule from trust to untrust any <group at 3> any deny

If this blocks the access to the IM servers then thus downloading files is also blocked.

Does this help?

 

by: abbasifttPosted on 2009-07-21 at 03:23:48ID: 24902810

I couldn't add address book entries as I don't know how to do that.
Please help

 

by: deimarkPosted on 2009-07-21 at 03:35:56ID: 24902869

www.juniper.net/techpubs

Download the docs for screenos version you are using.  They will explain a lot better than I can as well as answer loads of other questions you may have.

 

by: abbasifttPosted on 2009-07-22 at 00:43:47ID: 24912265

I added the IP address and name and assigned to a new group. even then it is working fine.
I mean yahoo.

 

by: deimarkPosted on 2009-07-22 at 00:53:33ID: 24912305

Copy the config extract for the addresses and policy please

Just the commands with "sat address....." and set policy....." for the related objects and rules.

 

by: abbasifttPosted on 2009-07-22 at 00:53:36ID: 24912306

Is there any other way I can block it?

Can you send us the extract for the policies as well please?

 

by: dpk_walPosted on 2009-07-27 at 11:17:48ID: 24954314

Generally if you wish to allow access to few sites and block access to other websites, then you would configure policies as below:

set policy id x from trust to untrust internal-ip external-ip HTTP allow log
set policy id x+1 from trust to untrust internal-ip any HTTP deny log

Please note in above policies, internal-ip is the address book entry you have added for the internal hosts; external-ip is the address book entry you have added for the external hosts; x is any valid number, x+1 means that this policy would be evaluated after policy with id x is evaluated.

If you wish to block all outbound traffic irrespective if it web traffic or not, you would configure policy with id x+1 as below instead:
set policy id x+1 from trust to untrust internal-ip any any deny log

Thank you.

 

by: abbasifttPosted on 2009-07-27 at 22:58:06ID: 24958152

see the complete configuration.

 

by: dpk_walPosted on 2009-08-01 at 09:28:39ID: 24995844

As stated in earlier comment; please use ANY service instead of specific service(s) to deny all outbound traffic; in the config, with policy id 4 you are not blocking HTTP access of machine with IP 192.168.0.12 to the Block Group.

Please elaborate if you wish to block access to few websites (using HTTP) or block complete access on all ports protocol. If you have a smaller set of sites to which access should be allowed/denied then the rules would depend on the requirement.

Please update.

Thank you.

 

by: abbasifttPosted on 2009-08-01 at 22:47:41ID: 24997822

all messengers and peer to peer  to be blocked (e.g.Yahoo msg, MSN msg, googletalk, emule, youtube download...
and that even not for all users in the company, only particular IPs

Thanks
MAS

 

by: dpk_walPosted on 2009-08-02 at 02:36:53ID: 24998219

I think you would be better off to allow all HTTP/FTP/SMTP/HTTPS/DNS access to IP 192.168.0.12 and block everything else. If there are more business related protocols which need to be allowed; for eg, pop, voice protocols other; please allow them as well.

Allowing few and blocking everything else would be a better approach in this case.

Please let know if you need exact CLIs.

Thank you.
