COMMUNICATING VIA IM CLIENTS
Controlling instant messaging means controlling correspondence contents and contacts with which the messaging is
allowed. You can create lists of allowed and blocked contacts, specify key words (see section "Key words search" on
page 160) that all incoming messages will be checked for, and enter private data (see section "Sending confidential
information" on page 160) that are prohibited to be sent.
If communication with a contact is blocked, all messages addressed to this contact or received from it will be filtered out.
Information about blocked messages and key words encountered in them is displayed in a report. In the full report you
can see messaging history for each contact.
The following restrictions are imposed on communication monitoring:
If an IM client had been run before Web Policy Management has been enabled, communication monitoring will
not start until the IM client is restarted.
When using an HTTP proxy, communication is not monitored.
The current version of Web Policy Management monitors communication via the following IM clients:
ICQ;
QIP;
Windows Live Messenger (MSN);
Yahoo Messenger;
GoogleTalk;
mIRC;
Mail.Ru Agent;
Psi;
Miranda;
AOL Instant Messenger (AIM);
Jabber.
Many IM clients use encrypted connection. To control messaging via such programs, you will need to enable the scan of
encrypted connections (see page 133).
To restrict contacts available for communication via IM clients:
1. Open the main application window.
2. Select the Web Policy Management section in the left part of the window.
3. In the right part of the window, select the user account on which a restriction should be imposed, and click the
Configure policies button.
4. In the window that opens, in the Messaging section, select the Instant messaging component.
