Test Filtering

To find out what happens when a specific client requests a particular site:

Steps

  1. Click Test Filtering in the Toolbox.
  2. To identify a directory or computer client, enter either:
    • A fully qualified user name

      To browse or search the directory to identify the user, click Find User (see Identifying a user to check policy or test filtering).

    • An IP address
  3. Enter the URL or IP address of the site you want to check.

    Note that Test Filtering provides information only for URL filtering.

  4. Click Go.

    The site category, the action applied to the category, and the reason for the action are displayed in a popup window. If the URL is associated with a cloud app, the popup window includes the application name, type, and the action applied.
