Adding permitted Web sites 

Table of Contents: Administering Lotus Foundations Start: FS12

---

For users to access a specific Web site, the administrator has to add it to the Permitted Websites list. By default, the Web sites lotus.com and ibm.com are automatically added.

To add a Web site you want to permit all users access to, follow these steps:

1. Click Web Server in the left menu of WebConfig.
2. Click the Content Filtering tab.
3. In the Permitted Websites section, enter the site's name in the empty Add New Website field. To view the permitted Website list, click Display Permitted Website List.
4. Click the green plus sign to accept the change. The Web site you entered is now displayed in the Permitted Websites list.
• You can use wildcards to enable all prefixes of a given domain. For example, to enable www.example.com, my.home.example.com, and office.example.com, type:
  
  
*.example.com


• You can use wildcards in the place of any label (dot-separated block) within a domain name. To do this, replace any label of the domain with an asterisk. For example, in order to enable both example.com and example.org, type:
  
  
example.*


• The two rules above cannot be used at the same time. For example, *.example.* permits www.example.com, office.example.org, but not my.home.example.org.
