List of blocked addresses/masks

We want to specify a forward slash in the wildcard specification for a blocked entry but do not know the syntax.

What I am trying to block as an example:
*.junk.com/redirect/*

It is the last part /* that doesn't work. It does odd things in ERA to the entered string. It appears the / is an escape sequence character in the regular expression but // doesn't allow a match of / either.

Does anyone know the magic to make this work?

 

Please give us an example of an address that is not blocked with the above mentioned string.

 

Try entering the example given in ERA. It doesn't take that string. It converts it to somnething else. I am using ERA 5.0.242.

When I enter:
*.junk.com/redirect/*

What is actualy set is:
*.junk.com/redirect*

Which is not the same thing.

When I enter:
*.junk.com/redirect//*

What I get is:
*

 

If you enter the address directly on a client (ie. not via ERA), does it make a difference? I've tried it with v6 and "*.junk.com/redirect/*" appeared in the list. You can also try modifying the string in the xml generated by the Configuration editor and then apply it on a client. At the moment I cannot test it with other products than v6 so I can't tell if the problem lies in the Configuration editor or Endpoint.

 

I can set the string in the client. It appears to be a problem in the ERA Server policy editor. Since I only use the ERA policy editor to edit the policies I am not sure were the policy XML files are located. I was to indirectly edit the XML byt first exporting the marked policy settings, changing the blocklist entry and the importing the XML file using the merge option. This works as long as I don't edit those specific entries in ERA.
