Redefining Parameters for User Groups

You can specify individual settings to configure access to Internet resources for certain users or user groups. For that purpose, adjust basic settings in the main section of the configuration file or specify redefining rules.

In the current version of Dr.Web for Unix Internet gateways, you can redefine the following parameters:

The rules are specified in the [match] section of the drweb-icapd.ini configuration file. Functions, used in these rules, are specified in the [def] section of the same configuration file. These sections can be declared in random order, but every function used in rules must be predefined in the [def] section. Expressions for rules and functions inside the [match] and [def] sections can be specified on multiple lines.

Note that one Internet resource can be included into several content-specific black lists as well as in a user-defined black list. In this case, access to this resource is blocked if at least one content-specific black list is active. If it is necessary to allow access to such a resource, deactivate all content-specific black lists where it is included.

However, to block access to other resources matching the deactivated black list categories, it is strongly recommended to include check of both URL and client properties (e.g., IP address) in the condition of an allow rule.

Note that if an Internet resource is included in a user-defined black list, access to this resource cannot be allowed by a rule.
