Domain objects are used when creating policies or HTTPS inspection rules.
  • You can add multiple domain objects at the same time by using a delimiter between each domain entry.
  • Valid delimiters are semicolon (;), comma (,), or linefeed (\r, \n, or \n).

Procedure

  1. Go to Policy → User Defined Settings → Domain Objects.
  2. Click Add or click the item to edit.
    The Add/Edit Domain Object screen opens.
  3. Specify a name that describes the domain object.
  4. Optionally, enter a description.
  5. Note that the Domain type is Domain and is the only available domain type.
  6. Specify one or more domains to add (using supported delimiters when specifying multiple domain entries).
    A match is found if the site domain for the traffic matches the input domain name.
    Rules Examples
    • If the input entry does not contain a wild card, Deep Discovery Web Inspector matches the entire domain only.
    • www.test.com matches the domain site www.test.com only.
    • The domain input string is case-insensitive.
    • www.test.com and WWW.TEST.COM are equivalent.
    • Traffic matches are protocol sensitive if the input record contains the protocol.
      If the input entry does not contain the protocol, traffic matches include both HTTP and HTTPS traffic.
    • https://www.test.com matches the domain site https://www.test.com but not http://www.test.com.
    • www.test.com matches both https://www.test.com and http://www.test.com.
    • Wild cards can be used to do prefix, intermediate, or suffix position matches.
      The asterisk (*) and question mark (?) are supported wild cards. The ? only matches one string. The “*” matches any length string.
    • *www.test.com matches any domain that ends with www.test.com.
    • www.test.com* matches any domain that starts with www.test.com.
    • www.t*est.com matches the domainwww.ttest.com and www.test.com
    • www.test.c?m matches www.test.com.
    • An IP address is a valid entry for a domain match.
    • 192.168.2.1 matches only that single IP address.
