Basic Portal Properties

The following list describes properties to specify how the portal uses host-checking results received from IVE.

HostChecking.captiveService

Name of the host-checking service that you use to redirect subscribers to the Host Checker. The Host Check Result portal deactivates this service to protect the IVE system from subscribers who rapidly make Web requests. If you use the “ Remind me again in” control on the Web page and the subscriber selects this control, the portal schedules the activation of this service for a later time.
Value—<service name>
Default—HostCheck

HostChecking.nonComplianceOption

Option used when the host violates any Host Checker policy. This property must be set.
Value
- Block—Activate the blocking service.
- Snooze—Allow the subscriber to select a later time for rechecking.
Default—Block

HostChecking.blockingService

Name of the blocking service to activate when the Host Checker policy is violated and the HostChecking.nonComplianceOption property is set to Block.
Value—<service name>
Guidelines—This service should restrict potentially dangerous users by rate limiting or filtering their traffic, and by policy routing all their Web traffic to the Host Check Result portal to continually remind them that they are not in compliance with the service provider’s policies.
Default—Block

HostChecking.IVESignInURL

URL to which the subscriber is redirected to perform the host check when the subscriber clicks the Check Again button.
Value—https://<IVE hostname>/check

HostChecking.IVELogOutURL

URL used to log out the subscriber. Each time a subscriber is directed to the Host Check Result portal by the IVE, the Host Check Result portal will use this URL to log the subscriber out of the IVE so that the IVE will reverify the subscriber the next time the subscriber is directed to the IVE.
Value—https://<IVE hostname>/dana-na/auth/logout.cgi

HostChecking.policy.<policyName>.description

Description to display when the specified Host Checker policy is violated. This description is displayed on the Host Check Result portal.
Value—Text
Guidelines—This property can contain HTML tags for formatting or embedding hyperlinks.
Example—HostChecking.policy.AcmeAVIsRunning.description = Acme AntiVirus is not activated on this host

HostChecking.policy.<policyName>.action

Suggested action when subscribers violate the specified Host Checker policy. This description is displayed on the Host Check Result portal.
Value—Text
Guidelines—This property can contain HTML tags for formatting or embedding hyperlinks.
Example—HostChecking.policy.AcmeAVIsRunning.action = Please activate Acme AntiVirus or purchase the latest version of <a href="http://www.juniper.net" target="newWindow">Acme AntiVirus.</a>

HostChecking.record.number

Maximum number of Host Checker results to be stored for use by the IVE captive portal. When this number is exceeded, the number of old records is removed as specified by the HostChecking.record.removeStep property.
Value—Number in the range 1–2147483647
Default—100

HostChecking.record.removeStep

Number of records to be deleted when the number of records stored reaches the limit specified by the HostChecking.record.number property. The records are removed sequentially, starting with the oldest record, then the next oldest, and so forth.
Value—Number in the range 1–2147483647
Guidelines—This number must be less than the value configured for the HostChecking.record.number property.
Default—10
