Use the Settings > User Identification > Edit IP Addresses page to make changes to entries in the Exceptions list. Changes made on this page affect all machines (identified by IP address or range) that appear in the Selected list.

Select an entry in the User identification drop-down list to indicate whether web protection software should attempt to identify users of these machines transparently.

Select Try to identify user transparently to request user information from a transparent identification agent or integration device.

Select Ignore user information to avoid using any transparent method to identify users.

Indicate whether users should be prompted to provide logon credentials via the browser. This setting applies when user information is not available, either because transparent identification failed, or because transparent identification was ignored.

Select Apply computer or network policy to ensure that users are never prompted to provide logon credentials.

If "Try to identify user transparently" is also selected, users whose credentials can be verified transparently are filtered by the appropriate user-based policy.

Select Prompt user for logon information to require users to provide logon credentials. The Default domain context entered for Additional Authentication Options is displayed and will be used.

If "Try to identify user transparently" is also selected, users receive a browser prompt only if they are not identified transparently.

Click OK to return to the User Identification page.

When you are finished updating the Exceptions list, click OK to cache your changes. Changes are not implemented until you click Save and Deploy.
