Hostname/URL Exceptions

To add sites to the Always Scan or Never Scan lists:

Steps

  1. Click the Add Hostname/URL button.
    You can specify a site in several ways, and you can specify more than one hostname or URL at a time.
    • You can enter a simple hostname, for example, thissite.com. Be sure to enter both the hostname and the extension (thissite.com and thissite.net are distinct hosts).
    • Sites with multiple labels are supported. For example: www.bbc.co.uk
    • You can use the wild card “*” to match leading subdomains only. For example: *.yahoo.com.
    • You can enter a complete or partial hostname or URL. The leading scheme “HTTPS://” is not required. An exact match is performed on the specified string.

      For example: www.example.com/media/

      Or: www.youtube.com/watch?v=

  2. After entering a single or group of hostnames/URLs, select the scanning options that apply to all of the sites you have entered. You can select one or more options.

    To apply different options to different sites, enter the names separately.

    A site can appear in only 1 of the 2 lists. You cannot, for example, specify that the same site should never be analyzed for tunneled protocols and always analyzed for content categorization.

    Click OK to add the entry.

  3. To delete a site from a list, select the site and click Delete.
  4. When you are finished, click OK to cache your changes. Changes are not implemented until you click Save and Deploy.
