• Basic Perl programming

Components Used

The information in this document is based on the Collaboration Server versions 3.x through 5.x.

URL Restriction

Locate the wlserver.properties file in the \WebLine\servlet\properties directory. Locate the section that looks similar to this:

# Used for placing restrictions on the urls visited. The value of this should 
  be a Perl 5 style
# regular expression defining exactly what urls will be allowed. Some examples:
#  wlServer.wcServer.restrictedUrls=http(s)?://.*.webline.com.*	

!--- This allows any pages in the webline.com domain (HTTP or Secure HTTP [HTTPS]).

#  wlServer.wcServer.restrictedUrls=http(s)?://.*.webline.com(?!/sitemap.htm).*

!--- This allows any pages in the webline.com domain, but does not allow 
!--- http://www.webline.com/sitemap.htm.

Note: Some lines of this text display over multiple lines due to space limitations.

You can uncomment either of the examples in the wlserver.properties file or modify the file. In order to restrict multiple URLs, separate each URL with a pipe (|). Here is an example:

wlServer.wcServer.restrictedUrls=http(s)?://.*.webline.com.* | http(s)?://.*.cisco.com.*

!--- This prevents use of the WebLine and Cisco URLs by agents.

In order for your changes to take effect, restart the Collaboration Server. If an agent logs in without connection to a Collaboration Server session, the agent can still access the newly restricted URLs. The restriction starts when the agent creates a session.
