Pre-filters

Pre-filters allow you to establish a one-to-one relationship between a specific IP address (location) and a user in order to screen transactions before they are evaluated in full by Exit Point Manager, or restrict access to a server altogether. For example, by configuring a Location + User Pre-filter, you can specify whether to allow or not allow a transaction from a specific IP address and user — allowing it causes the transaction to be further evaluated by Exit Point Manager rules; not allowing it is equivalent to a Exit Point Manager reject. A Server Pre-filter can perform the same action for all transactions to, for example, the FTP server. The other actions that you can specify are to audit the transaction, send an immediate message, and capture the transaction.

These actions work exactly like their equivalents within the Exit Point Manager rules processing scheme.

To configure Pre-filters, see Server Pre-filters panel and Location + User Pre-filters panel.
