I am trying to allow videos from Youtube that are embedded within websites.
We are currently blocking Youtube for most users.
I have tried adding this to the global white-list using a regex value.
I am entering:
youtube\.com/embed/
Basically I want it to allow everything on Youtube that follows the path youtube.com/embed.
Unless you have a better way ?
This is because the SSL protocol does not allow the proxy to see the URLs.
When you browse through the proxy in SSL, the proxy makes a permanent connection (a kind of VPN connection) between your browser and the remote website.
Everything that happens inside is encrypted for the proxy (cookies, paths, downloaded files).
The only thing the proxy is able to control is the destination domain or more precisely the full hostname and its public TCP/IP address.
The rest is invisible.
The only way to allow the proxy to view URLs and content is to enable the MAN-IN-THE-MIDDLE method which consists of decrypting websites at the proxy level.
This requires the creation of a certificate on the proxy and the deployment of this certificate in all browsers linked to the proxy.
