WinRoute's Proxy server allows the administrator to control access to Web pages. The administrator may decide that access to certain web pages or domains will only be allowed to specified users and/or user groups.
Access List
The list of URLs that are restricted. You may use asterisk as a wild card in the URL. For example, to match all computers in somedomain.com, use the string "*.somedomain.com". WinRoute also uses sub string tests to match the URLs, so for example if the string "sex" matches the same set of URLs as the string "*sex*" (only the latter variant was supported in previous versions of WinRoute)
Allow To
The list of users and/or user groups allowed to access the particular URL.
Avail. Users/Groups
The list of users and groups defined in WinRoute.
If a user tries to access a web page that falls in the category of restricted pages, the user will be prompted for authentication by his or her browser. WinRoute will check whether the user name and password are correct and whether the user is allowed to access the particular web page.
The browser stores the user name and password in its memory. All subsequent requests for authentication are answered automatically so that the user does not have to enter the name and password again and again.
On the other hand, the users should be aware of this feature. If you entered your user name and password sometime during your browser session, you should terminate the browser when leaving the computer to remove your authentication data from computer memory.
