CPM - Web Reputation Whitelist Blacklist

Usage and Config Security

(imported topic written by SystemAdmin)

Hello,

Are there wildcards (* or /) that can be used when creating the whitelist/blacklist? The documentation states creating the URL as with plain www.site.com. However, does that ignore everything before and after the parent url?

Example (does http://www.site.com in the list cover…)

something.site.com

site.com/mysite/something

I have a website that is not getting blocked by web reputation is affecting. Whitelisting the site has not worked - but not sure if wildcards are necessary and what exactly they might be.

I have tried (has not helped):

*.site.com

and

site.com/*

Thanks!

Mike

The wildcard would sure make life alot easier trying to block social sites like myspace. I know I have personally entered around 50 myspace site variants. Of course I know we can list it that way in the HOSTS file but not really as easy as the CPM would make it.

Maybe some bright person could make a small but incredible patch for this.

PS All who use the whitelist/blacklist we need to hammer out a site where we can do a mass import of all the bad sites.

Hey Mike,

I believe that you can in fact use wildcards, but they must be presented to the system in a particular way:

Use wild card as suffix to whitelist sub-directories. For example,

“http://www.example.com/*”

  • Use wild card to whitelist sub-domains. For example,

“http://*.example.com/”

Note that you must prefix each URL with “http://”

Thanks,

Hi,

I created Blocked/Approved template. I am able to block the URLs in Mozilla Firefox (HTTP and HTTPS),also able to block HTTP in both Google Chrome and IE .

But I am unable to block HTTPS sites in Google chrome and IE.

Also tried enabling the required extensions(TmIEPlugInBHO Class) in IE.

I didn’t find any extensions for Google Chrome.

I appreciate your help in this regards

Thanks

Hi Aram,

Thank you for the reply.

I did some initial testing with the same wild cards - and didn’t have much luck. I will give it another shot though. I ended up putting the direct http://site1.example.com and that resolved my issue. Thanks!

Is this web reputation whitelist blacklist still available on TEM 8.2? I installed TEM core protation, but cannot find this feature.

Most of the TEM solutions are independent of the underlying platform (8.2).

The most recent CPM should be version 10.5.

In my console, this is where I find the dashboard to specify the black list.

  • Endpoint Protection domain
  • Core Protection Module folder
  • Web Reputation Blocked-Approved List Wizard dashboard
