Blocking - Allowing Internet sites (ISA server)
Hi All,
We have a server (ISA) in the company for monitoring Internet access and blocking and allowing sites.
We created a group (not only oe) and set up to block all the sites exept some company related sites.
When I right click the Exeptions and select properties there I can set the site the user is allowed to access.
In the list I can see following: (the list isnt complete)
*.farnell.com/*
http://*.federalexpress.com/*
http://www.fedex.com/*
https://*.rsvendor.com
https://01t.net
www.dhl.*/*
www.power-sne.com/*
You see there is 7 different types. When should I use and which?
All of them are working I only want to know why this (different) way?

ASKER
Yes, exactly.
I want to know why the exceptions list is formatted differently.
Do you mean that if I enter http://www.fedex.com and https://www.fedex.com then it's the same as if I'd enter only www.fedex.com?
And I want to know why is an asterisk after the 2 slashes in the http://*.federalexpress.com
On that place (where the asterisk is) can be only www nothing else or what do you think?

ISA server 2004 version 4.0.2167.887
We're using it for both as a firewall and as a proxy.

Thats fine - does that clear up what you wanted to know?
ASKER
Yes, it did. Now I know how to enter exceptions correctly on the Firewall Policy site of the ISA server.
Excellent - thanks for the update

What base operating system are you using?
Is ISA installed as a firewall as well or just as a proxy?
The exceptions you list are in the web browser, not in ISA server? Therefore I do not really understand what question you are asking?
Do you just want to know why the exceptions list is formatted differently in the browser exceptions list?
If so, the http list blocks sites to http, the https list blocks sites to https and the ones begininng with www will block both http & https.
If this is not your question, please elaborate.
