Question:
- How do I confugure the Lockout Manager when utilizing the 'Real Time Security Report' functionality
Procedure:
To set up the lockout function:
1. Click the checkbox corresponding to Lockout to activate
the Severity and Duration (minutes) fields.
2. Specify the Severity of the end users’ lockout:
• Low - Choosing this option opens the Low Lockout
Components containing the Available Categories/
Groups and Assigned Categories/Groups subpanels.
Select the library category/categories or protocol(s)
the end user should not access.
For bandwidth gauges, to specify a port number the
user should not access, type a specific value in the
Port Number field, and/or use the up/down arrow
buttons to increment/decrement the current value by
one.
Click Add (for URL gauges) or Add Port (for bandwidth
gauges) to move the selection(s) to the Assigned
Categories/Groups list box.
• Medium - Choosing this option will lock out an end
user from World Wide Web access if he/she reaches
the threshold limit set up for the gauge.
• High - Choosing this option will lock out an end user
from network access via a TCP connection if he/she
reaches the threshold limit set up for the gauge.
3. Specify the Duration (minutes) of the lockout (the default
is “15” minutes), or click the “Unlimited” checkbox.
Notes:
After setting up gauges for monitoring end user Internet
activity, notifications for Internet abuse should be set up in
the form of policy alerts. These messages inform the administrator
when an end user has triggered an alert for having
reached the threshold limit established for a gauge. If the
end user was locked out of Internet/network for an indefinite
time period as a result of his/her Internet activity, the administrator
can determine when to unlock that end user’s workstation.
These functions are available to a group administrator only
if permissions were granted by the administrator who set up
his/her account.
