How to Discover which Web Control Categories Website
URLs Belong to
This feature is available from AlliedWare Plus version 5.4.7-2.1 and later.
You can send a categorization request to the web control provider to determine which web control
category a website URL belongs to. A response from the provider’s server contains the category or
categories the URLs belong to. To use this feature, you need a license for web control, but web
control does not need to be enabled. You can use this information to configure web control policies
to more closely meet the needs of your organization.
Once you have discovered the categories that URLs belong to, you can apply or adjust web control
rules to allow or deny access to particular categories.
Example 4 This example shows how to first inquire about categories, and then to deny access to some of the
discovered categories.
Step 1:
Inquire about the categories for URLs.
Inquire about which categories the URLs belong to. The provider returns a response for each URL.
You can inquire about one or more URLs:
