New Web Filtering in iOS7

Apple have introduced the Web Filtering option in iOS7, but there is little informaiton out there explaining how this works.  Apart from being able to turn it on, and add whitelist or blacklist sites - is there any more?  How does Apple determine what content is blocked?  Are there categories?  Can we see them?  Can we control them?
Without a bit more information on this feature and how it operates it's hard to trust it.
Does anyone have any more information on this feature?

Email?...just click on my Accout....or directly to [email protected]
Yes, we want to offer a service for customers that include a very secure server thats hosted on hosteurope.de included is a workspace for 5000min Video and a safe dedicated bandwidth up and down. Firstly there is no need to invest in new hardware or network infrastructure. The second is the security thing, we dont want the people to handle around with their open ports to the internet, because thats a huge risk for sensitive production enviromets because that might be an open door for hacker. You cannot ensure that there are always competent Admins onside.
Also the access to the server is hardly to handle with a standard DSL-Connection. What is if 10 users want to watch the same clip? Do you have a upload of min 10mbit?
And: Dontyou need a management of the users?? The Integrationsample has just none. I think thats recommendend for a review application. Appart from that you can just upload 10clips!?
Another point is the fact we love in FCsvr, updated features and bugfixes do not need to install a new version locally. So we did a lot of thinking, an come to the conclusion that thats the best. So, in case of that services we cannot offer that for free. Je decided to charge a annual fee.
The online sample of RevApp is just to try a bit around, till end of november we want to include much more features.
I am curious about that what eZ will release and how they handle the local istallation and the usermanagement...
We are also very interested in People who have a critical look on our solution an help us to improve. Ideas of future features are also very welcome.
So no offence at all, hope more people give us a feedback like you.
Greetings Jan

  • Adblock web filtering for ios7

    I am looking to purchase a Iphone again ( I went away at iphone 4 from lack of choice of controls) I would like to start thinking and addressing the reasons I left apple. and one reason and it was a big one for me was the lack of filtering controls. Right now I use firefox with a add on ad blockers. Is it possible now with iOS7 and still use a stock browser like safari and chrome?
    Paul

    There is a setting for a pop-up blocker in Safari, I'm not sure about the other browsers, as I do not use them.

  • Create a new web application, how shall I update the file server.xml

    Hi,
    I will create a new web application, i.e named newApp. Then I create a file structure as follows:
    - <server-root>/newApp
    - <server-root>/newApp/WEB-INF
    - <server-root>/newApp/WEB-INF/classes
    Then I must tell the server that I have created a new web application. Then I must update my file server.xml, How shall I do this and where in the file shall I type in the new information?
    I use windows XP Pro, and Tomcat 4.1.27.
    My server.xml file looks like below:

    By default, DNS lookups are enabled when a web application calls
    request.getRemoteHost(). This can have an adverse impact on
    performance, so you can disable it by setting the

    request.getRemoteHost() will return the String version of the

    To use servlets u have indeed to update your web.xml...Well I'm not sure this is relevant to your case anyway.
    You have to add a <servlet> element to this file.
    Something like this:
    <servlet>
    <servlet-name>blabla</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>blablapackage.Blablaclass</servlet-class>
    <init-param>...</init-param>
    </servlet>
    Now this may not solve your problem. Make sure you refer to your servlets using their full qualified names.btw, just to be sure, what is your definition of "servlet"? (i mean: any java class or only javax.servlet.Servlet)

  • Global Web Filtering Options

    I am looking for a global web filtering solution for our business but am having trouble finding a solution that will work acceptably for us globally.
    The problem is that our campany has hundreds of very small offices (mostly only 2-3 users with the odd larger office) located in remote locations all around the world where WAN links are very expensive and slow.
    We use all small office type cisco routers in our remote offices of various types (such as 800 series) and are rolling out WAAS/WAVE solutions to optimise our slow WAN links as much as possible, and all sites have site-to-site VPNs from the routers to our UK-based data centres.
    Currently we use Websense configured on the local routers at a few of our offices with a regional server in places such as the UK for most of Europe, and Mobile for most of the US for example.
    We could expand this to all locations, including Australasia, Middle East, Far East and Africa etc. but due to the remote locations we would need many local servers in many countries as the infrastructure to have just one regional Websense server isn't good enough in these areas and web performance would be too slow to be useable due to the latency to the Websense server location. It simply isn't financially feasible to put in hundreds of servers at lots of 2-3 man offices in the middle of no-where so I've been looking at other options.
    I was hoping a hosted solution would be the answer, but I've looked at WebSense's hosted service and it doen't appear to cover all regions (just has server farms in US/Europe which is no good for Africa etc.) I've also looked at Symantec MessageLabs but this has the same problem as there is no coverage in the Middle East/Asia/Africa etc and it proxies all web traffic so performance at these sites would probably be appaling with the limited bandwidth on top of the latency to the closest MessageLabs servers.
    I've now seen that Cisco have a new IOS Content Filter which uses Trend database servers. This sounded promising as it appears to cache the URL checks on the router making the server location less of an issue. But I'd still like to know where in the world they cover (I've seen reference to only 4 data centres globally). My other concern with this solution is whether it integrates into AD, so we can apply policies based on the user accounts like we do currently with the WebSense solution. The last thing is the price of this solution as it appears to be licensed based on the number of routers rather than the number of users. As our users are so spread out with only 2-3 users per router on average this is likely to mean for us this solution will be ridiculously expensive, can anyone advise if this is the case?
    My question therefore is can anyone advise on a solution for this that will work with our Cisco infrastructure in all our offices without having to purchase lots of servers for remote locations? I've seen that other vendors such as the Astaro Security Gateway have web filtering built into their products without the need for external servers, but I'd prefer to stick with Cisco if at all possible.
    Many thanks for any advice/help anyone can give me in this area.
    Paul

    Hi Paul,
    IOS Content filtering is licensed on a per router basis, you are right. So, probably that would not scale for you.
    Cisco has other solutions with Web Filtering and Ironport engines. The challenge in your setup is that each remote site would need to "call" to a central web filtering location that will be making the decision on allowing or no. Or you would need a service that scales well on a per contintent basis. There are some new Cisco web filtering options that could scale with servers almost everywhere in the world. But I don't think you can get a consice answer from this forum about your potential choices here.
    You local Cisco team will be able to provide you with these options. You are welcome to give them my email if they need to talk to me internally.
    I hope it helps a little.

  • ISA570 - SPAM and Web Filtering Only

    I want to use my new IAS570 for SPAM and Web filtering but not as a firewall or VPN endpoint at this time.  I want to contune to use my existing firewall for the other 2 services.  Is it possible to do this and does the ISA570 need an external IP address in order to leverage the other functions?

    Steve,
    I believe you can accomplish what you are wanting by enabling Routing Mode (Networking -> Routing -> Routing Mode).  Routing mode basically turns off NAT on the device but allows the other security functions to still continue working.  So for example, this would be your configuration to add the ISA.
    Placement
    Internet -> Current Firewall -> ISA -> Network Switch(s) -> Workstations/Servers
    Example configs
    Current Firewall
    Outside IP - 1.1.1.1 /24
    Inside IP - 10.0.0.1 /24
    ISA
    WAN1 IP - 10.0.0.2 /24
    WAN Gateway - 10.0.0.1
    LAN IP - 10.1.0.1 /24
    Workstation/Server Gateway - 10.1.0.1
    Additional Configuration
    ISA
    Networking -> Routing -> Routing Mode
    Enable
    Firewall -> Access Control -> ACL Rules
    Add ACL Rule to Permit Any Any and ensure it's at the top of the list
    Security -> Dashboard
    Disable everything except SPAM and Web Filtering
    The ISA doesn't require you to configure an External IP on it.  You just need to ensure it has Internet Access to it can continue to get updates for the services you are utilizing.

  • Getting error while creating a new web app saying "The password supplied with the username domainname\username was not correct. Verify that it was entered correctly and try again"

    Hi ,
    I am trying to create a new web app using Central Administration in Sharepoint 2010 and getting an error "The password supplied with the username  was not correct. Verify that it was entered correctly and try again".
    I tried running this command also "stsadm -o updatefarmcredentials -userlogin <domain\username> -password <newpassword>" but when it got executed it showed me "Access Denied".
    What should i do ??
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards, Anurag

    HI,
    right click on command icon and click run as administrator then use above stsadm commend to update credential. If still you face same issue then try with powershell as mention in below link: (make sure that you open sharepoint powershell as run as administrator)

    I'm having an odd occurrence happen about 50% of the time right now when creating new web applications during my migration from SP2010 to SP2013.
    During creating a web application in Central Admin, I can get through the first setup page, then get to the "This shouldn't take long" page and will sit there for 30+ minutes. I end up closing the window and will see that the Web application is there in
    Central admin, and sometimes the DB will be created, other times not, not a big issue since I'm mounting a sp2010 database to this web application.
    What I do notice is that either a IIS site will either not be created at all, or it will be created, but the Virtual Folder is empty. When trying to delete the Web Application through central admin or PowerShell it will hang for hours until the next day
    when it's finally deleted. During this time I am not able to create any other web applications. It's usually at this time that I can successfully create a new web applications but even that is unreliable.
    Has anyone ran into this issue or can suggest any workarounds to get this working? I'm wondering if copying the contents of another web application's virtual directory to the failed web application's virtual directory will be a workaround. I still need to
    verify if creating a web application through PowerShell gives me the same headache but at the moment I'm currently waiting for a web application to delete.

    Finally got this resolved after an 8 hour call with Microsoft. After finally getting the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application service to restart (took 4 hours) We found that changing the Shutdown time in the Web Application Pool for the Central
    Admin pool to 400 allowed for the Web Application to complete successfully.
    I'm still confused to why everything is taking so long now to complete so i'll have to look into that next.
    Folks, this is a minor problem that seems to be creeping up more and more. I personally have performed over 8 installs in various environments. I have seen this issue in 6 out of the 8 environments I have created. All servers I have tried a variation of
    software. In MOST of my tests, this seems to be a problem. Not sure why they decide to recycle the App Pool just before they perform an "Virtual Directory Copy." Here are the results of my tests. I was very methodical in my testing and made sure these were
    clean downloads every time. As you will see, I tried variations of hardware increases, physical to virtual, database versions and patch levels...etc.

  • How can I set my WebI filters to Null and not Null

    Folks,
    I have created a report in WebI and now I am to set up some filters as Null and some Not Null.
    How can I set my WebI filters to Null and not Null?
    Regards,
    Bashir Awan

    Hi,
    As you said you could do it at the report level and also at the universe level.
    One more way is to create the filters in the universe levele and add them in thequery filter.
    Ex: in the filter you need to write :
    Column1 is null and and column 2 is not null etc.
    Hope this will help.
    If this did't  solve your problem then please explain it in detail.
    Cheers,

  • IN R12, NEW WEB PAGES ARE OPENED IN THE MINIMIZED POSITION

  • LDAP is not working on new Web Server

    Hi, I configured LDAP authentication and it was working fine. After this I installed a new web server. I copied the security certificate etc ( copied everything from other web server) onto new webserver. When I try to login into Infoview or CMC then I get error message "Security plugin error: Failed to set parameters on plugin" from the new web server. Its working fine from the old web servers.
    Not sure what else I have to do now as I have done the same thing on old servers in the past.
    We are on BOXI R2 SP3 with web server on IIS 6.0. We have three web servers  and 3 processing servers ( with all services) in cluster env.
    Thanks,

    I am sorry I got confused with Pure Enterise authentication. I should have referred to my notes. I apologize for this. Web application server is involved in communicating to LDAP. Below is the process
    1) User logs into the application
    2) Web application server security plugin sends credential to LDAP directory
    3) LDAP directory authenticate users.
    4) Web application server's security plugin sends users credential to LDAP
    5) CMS requests user and group info from LDAP
    6) The LDAP returns this information to CMS Security plugin
    7) CMS will grant access if users is member of mapped group
    8) If access is granted then both CMS and WAS plugin create a session
    9) The WAS sends an enterprise session token to user's browser
    I was referring to login into Infoview using LDAP.
    Thanks,

  • HT202225 I keep getting pop ups on my iMac for the first time in 6 years after one of my kids tried to watch football through crichd tv. safari now opens with smart search engine rather than google every time i try to open a new web page.

    Ever since one of my kids tried to watch football on a website called crichd tv I keep getting pop us come up like Mackeeper and every time i try to open a web page it comes up with Smartsearch rather than google which is my preferred search engine in preferences. I have blocked extensions and changed homepage to google but this Smartsearch keeps overriding. Also a thing called MacKeeper keeps popping up I have followed the instructions to uninstall but the file it says to move to trash from the Applications folder but it simply isn't there or anywhere else. The file to uninstall Smartsearch is also not where they say it is in Library>frameworks>
    Very frustrating from going from a perfectly working system to a now very frustrating and annoying pop ups coming uo after every time i open a new web page.
    Any help or assistance in this matter would be very much appreciated.

    You (or your kids) inadvertently installed adware. You do not need to download or install anything to fix it.
    Any tips on how to stop it from happening?
    Yes. To learn how to avoid it in the future read How to install adware.
    If you require them, Apple's removal instructions are linked in the Recovery Procedure near the end of that document. Read and follow them carefully. Pay particular attention to the easily overlooked passages directing you to restart your Mac when required.

  • How to create a portlet for a new web page?

    I create a web page "A" in the remote server and have another page "B" which have a button in it. And when push the button in page "B", I want to use PRC to add a new portlet object linking to page "A" to portal. How should I do this?
    I know it's possible to add a new portlet template using IRemoteSession.GetPortletTemplateManager().CreatePortletTemplate(intparentFolderID, intwebServiceID), but how should I get the webServiceID while it haven't been created for the page "A". Must I create the web service in the portal server by hand? Is there any programmatic method to create a new web service by PRC? Or if there are some other methods to create a portlet for a new page without creating webservice, that would be a prefer.

  • Can Cisco connect be used for small business web filtering?

    I am searching for a web filtering solution for our small church.  The core requirement is to use a hardware-based solution to filter all internet traffic.  Our current wiring looks like this: [ISP router] --> [switch] --> [Open Mesh wireless access points].  Can I connect a Linksys EA2700/3500/4500/6500 between the [ISP router] and the [Switch], disable the Linksys wireless, and use Cisco Connect to filter all the internet traffic?
    More info: We will only have a handful of wired/wireless devices which we have control over.  We expect most of the rest of the traffic to be generally outside our control via personally owned devices connecting thru the public wifi.  Therefore any solution which requires installation of software on individual devices will not work.
    (If there are other threads on this topic I'd be more than happy to read them, I just couldn't find any.)
    Thanks!!

  • How to make Safari browser always open a new web page in a new Safari browser window which was clicked from a PDF document URL

    Hi
    I have a web application which would enable users to see a list of PDF document on the web page and when the user select the PDF document, it will be open by a adobe PDF view
    Within the content of the PDF document, it will contact URL links to some other portal web pages which we would like these other web pages to be open in a new browser window, but our testing shows that the new web pages may not always open in a new browser window.
    Could you help to advise how I can enforce that new web pages that are clicked from the PDF document can always be open in a new Safari browser window ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Sen Lee 

    Hello,
    In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
    #Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
    #In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
    #In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
    #On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.
