Configuring remote filtering to ignore HTTPS or FTP
Deploying the Remote Filter Module | Web Filter & Security | v8.0.x, v8.1.x
You can configure remote filtering software to ignore FTP traffic, HTTPS traffic, or both. HTTP traffic is always monitored.
If you have multiple Remote Filtering Server instances, repeat these steps for each one.
1.
Navigate to the Websense bin directory (C:\Program Files\Websense\Web Security\bin or /opt/Websense/bin, by default) on the Remote Filtering Server machine.
2.
Open the securewispproxy.ini file in a text editor.
3.
To disable FTP filtering for this Remote Filtering Server instance, add the following line to the file:
FilterFTP=0
If you want to later turn FTP filtering back on, change the parameter value from "0" to "1".
4.
To disable HTTPS filtering for this Remote Filtering Server instance, add the following line to the file:
FilterHTTPS=0
If you want to later turn HTTPS filtering back on, change the parameter value from "0" to "1".
5.
Save and close the file.
6.
Use the Windows Services tool or /opt/Websense/WebsenseDaemonControl command to restart Websense Remote Filtering Server.
