| CProxy Server provides an Administrator with the ability
to learn about their users actions on the Internet. This includes the amount of data sent
and received through the proxy server, the protocols and Internet sites accessed and most
importantly, who they were accessed by. Users are selected by highlighting them in the
panel on the left side of the tab. Account Reporting
The account reporting section specifies the amount of time a user has been
online, the amount of data sent to the Internet and the amount of data received from the
Internet. A cost can be assigned to each of these fields, the total of which is given in
the field labelled Total Cost. The total cost counters can be reset by clicking the Reset
button. To disable accounting, uncheck the box labelled Enable Accounting.
Activity Icon
When the icon flashes, this profile has logged into the proxy server and
occupies a slot in the licensing table.
Time Allocation
By default, all users have unlimited time on the Internet. This can be
restricted by changing the value in the Allowed x mins total field to
another value (in minutes). Once the specified value has been reached, the users account
is automatically locked to prevent further access. At this point the Account
Locked checkbox becomes available and the Administrator must check this box to
unlock the users account.
Audit Trail
User Auditing provides the Administrator with information on which protocols
the user accessed, the date of access, the server contacted and the files retrieved. To
view an audit trail;
- Highlight the required user in the panel on the left side of
the User Profiles menu.
- Click the Expand Trail button to open the
CProxy Audit Window.
- Navigate through the Audit Window as you would through
Windows Explorer - i.e items with a '+' can be expanded to reveal further information.
- The users name or workstation IP address is listed first at
the top left of the screen. Double clicking the name will reveal the dates upon which the
user has accessed the Internet. Further clicking will reveal the protocols, sites and
items accessed.
Current Selection
If the user has accessed a website and you have highlighted that website
within the trail, the View and Add buttons become
available. Clicking View will load the selected site into your
web-browser for you to look at. Selecting a Content Control List from the drop down menu
and then clicking Add will add the selected site to the banned list.
Report Printing
If you wish to print a report of the trail, this can be done by either
saving the trail to a file or printing it out on paper. To save the trail to a file, click
File and then select the location you wish to save the report to. To
print a report, click the Printer button, select the printer and press OK
to print the report to paper. Checking the Include Summary Information
checkbox will include summary information about the session in report. Checking Full
Detail Report will include all available details within the report.
