Websites can be whitelisted to stop captures from being generated when a specified website is browse or blacklisted to create a capture as soon as the site is accessed by a user. Whitelisted websites will be surrounded by star symbols in the Web Log list to show that they have been whitelisted.
Whitelisting a website will not stop keyboard captures from being generated, only application captures.
Create a Web List
Navigate to the Settings view by clicking on the Cog icon in the top right of the console.
Then click on Web Lists.
Click on Add to create a new list. The list will be automatically assigned to the OU/group level you create it at. You can edit the name of list after creation by clicking Edit.
Single click the new list to highlight it and then click on the Sites button.
Add a web address for whitelisting
Click on Add to add a new entry.
Type in the URL you wish to white or blacklist, enable the appropriate setting, and then click on Add Site to finish. It is not necessary to add a wild card, adding “http://bbc.co.uk ” will whitelist the whole domain.
Blacklisting a website will not block that website from being accessed. It will instead generate a capture as soon as that website is accessed, no matter what content is displayed on the page.
Advanced Settings
Advanced settings are also available to change the severity weights or confidence values for a website instead of outright whitelisting the URL.
This can be useful for situations where you want captures to still be created from a website, but at a reduced severity score. For example, a value of -1 will reduce all severities from the website by 1. This will not work if the website has been whitelisted or blacklisted.
Confidence values can also be changed for a website. This will modify the client’s behaviour by only allowing captures through that hit a set confidence rating. For example, setting a rating of 90 will only allow captures to be generated if the confidence score is 90+.
This can help reduce false positives from certain websites. This will not work if the website has been whitelisted or blacklisted. Further information about the confidence engine can be found in section 2.8.
Manually Assign a Web List
Host lists can also be assigned to other groups. To do this select the group you want to assign to and click on the Settings > Web tab.
Then click on Edit and under select the new list from Web Lists drop down menu.
Ensure Web Whitelisting is enabled and click Save to finish.
