Restricting Access to Specific Web Browsers

You can restrict access to the proxy server based on the type and version of the client’s web browser. Restriction occurs based on the user-agent header that all web browsers send to servers when making requests.

To Restrict Access to the Proxy Based on the Client’s Web Browser

1. Access the Server Manager, and click the Filters tab.

2. Click the Set User-Agent Restriction link.

   The Set User-Agent Restriction page is displayed.

3. Select the resource from the drop-down list or type a regular expression that matches the user-agent string for the browsers you want the Proxy Server to support.

   If you want to specify more than one client, enclose the regular expression in parentheses and use the | character to separate the multiple entries. For more information on regular expressions, see “Understanding Regular Expressions” in Chapter 16, Managing Templates and Resources.

4. Check the Allow Only User-Agents Matching option.

5. Click OK.
