URL Filtering - Allow access to sites or categories by AD Group

FreAlan — Thu, 16 Mar 2017 10:03:25 GMT

I am a complete newby here. We are migrating from Websense to PA URL Filtering. I would like to duplicate policies so I can allow certain people access to specific web sites or categories, but continue to block everyone else. This should be seamless, not requiring the user to enter a password each time they want to go to the site. I would hope it would be possible by integration with AD. How can I achieve this? Thanks

Hello and welcome!

you should look into UserID 🙂 here's a good start: Getting Started: User-ID

With UserID you can map all your users to their IP addres(ses) and apply AD group membership to security policies so they get access according to their membership
