Can I whitelist a specific path?

[Mike Kwilosz]

Due to auth issues with machine credentials caching on the WSAs and causing users to be unable to access the Internet I was wondering if I could allow a specific path and block the rest of the site to users. 

So I would like to specifically allow the following:

http://liveupdate.symantecliveupdate.com/liveupdate_3.3.0.99_english_livetri.zip

And blacklist this site:

http://liveupdate.symantecliveupdate.com/

Is this possible?  Regex?

Thanks,

Mike

Hi mike,
you can create a custom url category where you can add the regular expression specifying the path you want to block or allow.
Then add the custom url category you created to your access policy with action "block" or "allow"depending if you want to block or allow the path you specified in regular expression.

hope this helps.

I think that would be the one.

The regex above is correct.  One caveat you will need one custom cat to allow the regex item and one custom cat to block the whole site. 

Make sure the regex custom cat is placed above the domain custom cat.

Chris,

Thank you for the code!  I'm going to give it a try here in the next few minutes and I will let you know if it does the trick.
