Hi there
I have some users who are "not allowed" to access the Internet. But being
the nice guy I am I managed to get management to approve the "opening" of
certain sites, such as the medical aid and pension scheme websites. So to do
this I created an S&C rule to allow the necessary destination sets for all
Domain Users. The trick with this is that the Medical Aid website works just
fine, but the Pension website doesn't. I have now managed to figure out that
the problem is related to the fact that the Pension website is an HTTPS
secure site. In fact, any HTTPS site that I "open", the users keep getting
prompted for their credentials, but any other HTTP website works just fine.
Here are the excerpts from the WEB log (I've removed all the unnecessary
info):
Medical Aid
<clientIP>, WillTest, Mozilla/4.0 etc etc, 11/25/2003, 15:35:57, w3proxy,
<FIREWALL>, -, www.sovhealth.co.za, 196.37.176.210, 80, 2953, 455, 0, http,
TCP, GET, http://www.sovhealth.co.za/web/images/background.gif, image/gif,
Inet, 10054, 0x801002, pWEB Protocols, scWEB - Free Sites
Pension Scheme
<clientIP>, WillTest, Mozilla/4.0 etc etc, 11/25/2003, 15:35:58, w3proxy,
<FIREWALL>, -, www.mebmac.co.za, -, 443, 0, 0, 0, SSL-tunnel, TCP, -,
www.mebmac.co.za:443, -, Inet, 12209, 0x0, pWEB Protocols, -
As you can see, the Pension website doesn't find a matching Rule 2 (Site &
Content Rule), and this I cannot understand. Is it possible to declare HTTP
and HTTPS website distinctions in the Destination Sets?
Cheers
William R.
