Access Quota Policy: Adding/Editing Policies

HTTP > Access Quota Policies > Add | Edit (click a policy name to open for editing)

The clients within the scope of an access quota policy, the bandwidth quota and the time interval for the quota’s duration are configurable. Access Quota Policies can also be applied to IPv6 clients as with the IPv4 clients. Account fields should support IPv6 addresses. You can define one rule for any IPv6 host, and this policy rule is triggered when the client accesses the Internet through IWSVA.

When selecting available policies, both IPv4 and IPv6 policies will appear. In the Account field, acceptable account entries include a single IPv6 address, an IPv6 range, or an IPv6 network mask similar to what has been supported with IPv4.

• Enable policy: Enables or disables the individual policy; if the global setting at the top of the Access Quota Policies page is disabled, this individual setting is overridden.

• Monthly access quota in MB: Set the quota for HTTP and decrypted HTTPS file downloads and page accesses. Users who exceed their allotment will be able to finish their current download, but will receive a notification in their Web browser upon their next Web access attempt. The quota is automatically reset at the end of the specified time period.

• Unlimited access: Choose this option to exempt the user(s) or groups from any quota limits. If a user is a member of a group with a more restrictive quota, and is also named in a policy with unlimited access, the policy with the higher priority will be applied.

Accounts

• The options for defining group membership depend on the User ID method.

• Identification: Specify to whom the policy applies. If LDAP is enabled in the User Identification page, enter the LDAP User or Group name. Otherwise, type an IP address, a range of IP addresses, or specify the host name.

• Notes: Record policy notes in this field, for example, to summarize the intent or justification for the policy. Notes can serve as a simple reminder to yourself, or you can use them to let others know the rationale for a given policy setting.

• Hint: To view the notes of an existing policy, open the Access Quota Policies page and click the Account Name for the Access Quota.
