Note: If the Logging mode check box is cleared, several reports will always show "No Data":
Reports > Policy & Content > Suspect Machines and reports in the Reports > Users section.
All searches will show "No Data" as well.
Report data retention
In the Report data retention text box, set the number of months for which you want to retain
data. If the new retention time is shorter than the previously configured time, you will lose any
data that is older than the new retention time.
Google feature controls
Configure settings that limit access to certain Google services.
■
To limit YouTube content when viewing videos, select the YouTube content restrictions
check box. Access to restricted content can be controlled with YouTube settings in Google
Apps.
■
With Control Google Apps access, you can prevent users from signing in to Google services
using any accounts other than the accounts you provided them with. For example, you may
not want them to use their personal Gmail account from another domain. To limit access to
Google accounts and services to only the domains you specify, select the Control Google
Apps access check box and type one or more domains.
Note: Google feature controls are not available for Endpoint web control.
Additional options
■
To allow users to access external sites by entering IP addresses, select the Allow public IP
access check box, and click Apply.
Important: If this option is not enabled, users will be unable to access any URL that uses an
IP address from any web page, flash script, or other content. For example,
youtube.com
flash videos commonly contain URLs encoded as IP addresses.
■
To enforce search engine filtering (SafeSearch), select the Enforce Search Engine Filtering
(SafeSearch) check box, and click Apply.
Some search engines provide a “SafeSearch” option that excludes inappropriate content from
search results. The appliance can enforce this option for search engines that support it. Check
the product documentation for your search engine to see if SafeSearch is supported and for
details about this feature.
Note: The effectiveness of this option depends on the implementation of SafeSearch by your
search engine.
When this option is enabled, users cannot override SafeSearch by changing settings in their
search engines.
Note: In order to support SafeSearch, some search engines require HTTPS scanning to be
turned on.
■
Select Restrict image results to openly licensed content to limit image results to those that
have been labeled as being free to share, modify and reuse.
