Situation
Administrator wants to block access to www.bebo.com using Access
Control Rules from Novell BorderManager 3.8
Resolution
Create the following rules to block www.bebo.com:
1. Launch nwadmn32
2. Double left-click with the mouse over the BorderManager server object
3. Choose the BorderManager Access rule tab
4. Add a new rule using these settings:
- Action: Deny
- Access type: URL
- Source: Any
- Destination/Specified/Add:
6. On the BorderManager Setup tab, make sure that "Enforce access rules" is checked.
From now on, all access to www.bebo.com will be blocked.
This two rules are needed because bebo website uses a different URL to allow access. A LAN trace showed that the URL used to access this site is http://dhg.s.bebo.com,
hence the need of create two rules.
