filter.config

Filtering rules stored in filter.config allow you to:

  • Deny or allow URL requests
  • Keep or strip header information from client requests
  • Insert custom headers
  • Allow specified applications or requests to specified web sites to bypass authentication
  • Prevent specified applications from transiting the proxy

Filtering rules should be defined in the Content Gateway manager on the Configure > Security > Access Control > Filtering tab. See Creating filtering rules.

Important:

After you modify this file, run the following command to apply the changes:

/opt/WCG/bin/content_line -x

When you apply the changes to a node in a cluster, Content Gateway applies the changes to all nodes in the cluster.
