How can I allow a single YouTube video using policy?

Products

• ProxySG Software - SGOS

Issue/Introduction

 

Assuming a default policy action of "deny" and you want to allow your users to see this video:

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kioiUPBgOOM

 

The following local policy would be needed or the equivalent VPM policy:

 

<proxy>

url.domain=//c.youtube.com/ allow

url.domain=//ytimg.com/ allow

url.substring=kioiUPBgOOM allow

 

You are taking the unique identifier string of the video that follows the v= and allowing that substring and the background YouTube video URLs that are retrieved for the video to play.
