Bandwidth Control Policies: Accounts Parent topic

Bandwidth Control > Policies > Add
IWSVA has default global and guest policies for the following activities: HTTPS decryption, Advanced Thread Protection, HTTP Inspection, Data Loss Prevention, applets and Active X, and URL Filtering. Application Control has only the default global policy.
  • Global Policy—For all clients (except for clients in "Guest Policy") who access through IWSVA.
  • Guest Policy—For those clients, typically temporary workers, contractors, and technicians who proxy through IWSVA using a special "guest access" option.
    Note
    Note
    The guest policy is a feature that is available when the administrator has configured IWSVA to use the LDAP "User/Group name authentication" feature as the user identification method. Administrators can opt to provide one "Guest Access" button to users who do not have accounts within the organization's directory servers, (such as contract personnel or visiting vendors) so they can still access the Web.
The Global Bandwidth Control policy is the default policy.
  • Enable policy—Enables or disables the individual policy; the Global Bandwidth Control setting overrides the specifications of an individual policy.
  • IP Range—Use to specify the range of IP addresses (IPv4 and/or IPv6) that will be affected by the Bandwidth Control policy.
  • IP Address—Use to specify the single IP address (IPv4 and/or IPv6) that will be affected by the Bandwidth Control policy.
  • IP Subset—Use to specify the subnet IP address that will be affected by Bandwidth Control policy.
  • User or Group (If User Identification is enabled)—Use to specify the user or group that will be affected by Bandwidth Control policy.
    Note
    Note
    The options on this page depend upon the user identification method that you are using—either IP address or User/group name authentication, if you enable LDAP authentication. For more information about configuring the user identification method and defining the scope of a policy, see User Identification and Bandwidth Control Policies.
  • Add—Click to add a single or range of IP addresses, user, or group to the list of addresses that will be affected by the Bandwidth Control policy.
To add an Bandwidth Control policy:
  1. Go to Bandwidth Control > Policies.

  5. Type a single IP address, a range of IP addresses, an IP subset, or a user/group name to signify the users affected. Alternatively, choose the user or group name if LDAP integration has been set up.
  6. Click Add to move the newly entered IP address, range, or user/group name to the Type & Identification table.
  7. Click Next to continue.
