Importing Lists of Websites
About this task
Web Reputation allows you to import URLs for new Blocked and Approved List templates from new line-delimited files.
Procedure
- Create two text files - one for the websites you want this
template to block and another for the websites to which you want to
give your users unrestricted access. Note: If you do not want to include an Approved List in the template, you can skip this part of the process. Web Reputation allows you to create Blocked / Approved List Templates with both list types (a blocked and an approved list), only a Blocked List, or only an Approved List.
- Press Enter or place a "newline"
code at the end of each line to separate each entry. You must have
"http://" before each URL entry. To block all
the pages for a site, enter the domain name followed by "/*",
for example:
http://www.badURL.com/*
- From the console menu, click Endpoint Protection on the bottom left pane.
- From the upper left navigation pane, go to Core Protection Module > Configuration > Web Reputation Blocked-Approved List > Web Reputation Blocked-Approved List to open the Web Reputation Blocked-Approved List Wizard.
- Click the Add Template button or Edit. The Blocked-Approved List Templates – Add Template window opens.
- Click Bulk Import Sites from external file.... The Import Sites from External File window appears.
- Select the text file you wish to import by clicking Browse next to the Select Import File field. The Open window appears.
- Use the Open window to navigate to the location where you have stored the text file.
- Select the file and click Open. The path to the selected file appears in the Select Import File field.
- Choose Blocked List or Approved List from the List Type.
- Click the Add Sites from File button.
- Click Yes to import the file. If you click No, to import the list you must re-launch the Wizard and perform the import process again.
- After you click Yes, the Blocked / Approved List Wizard displays the contents of the tab associated with the file.
- Click Finish to end the import process
and start generating the relevant Custom Action. Note: To see the process required to finish generating your Custom Action and deploying the template, start at Step 8 in the Creating and Deploying a New Template section.
