Working with Internet Zones

You can create Internet Zones to define the Protocol, URLs and URL categories which are used by a Web policy route.

How do I...

• Create and Modify an Internet Zone?

  1. Click Policy > Internet Zones. The Manage Internet Zones page is displayed.
  2. To create a new Internet Zone, click New. To edit an existing zone, select the entry from the list and click Edit.
  3. Edit the Overview section and provide the zone with a Name or any relevant Notes. Click Save.
  4. Define the protocols for matching URLS. Select the Protocols tab and click Click here to change these settings.

  5. Select HTTP/FTP and/or HTTPS and click Save.

     When attempting to match an HTTPS request to an Internet Zone, only the domain name associated with that page will be considered. Any sub-pages will be ignored. We recommend that you leave HTTPS protocol selected.

  6. Add URL categories to the Internet Zone. Click the URL Categories tab and click Click here to change these settings.
  7. Select the categories of included sites from the selection pane. The right pane displays information about each category. Click Save
  8. Add specific sites to the Internet Zone. Click the Sites tab and click Click here to change these settings.
  9. Click New. The Add Site dialog is displayed.

  10. Enter a Site Address and a Description. Click Add.

      If a Site definition includes a protocol, the site protocol takes precedence.

  11. Apply the configuration.
