Issue/Introduction

Whitelisting has just been enabled, how can I tell if it is working correctly?

Resolution

A simple way of confirming that Content Analysis is checking against the whitelisting database is to look inside the Content Analysis system log. To see the information related to whitelisting, you'll need to first set whitelisting module to debug mode

 

 

Then use the test utility to upload a file, make sure it is one that Content Analysis has been configured to scan

 

 

Now go to the utilities tab and check the CAS log for an entry confirming the whitelisting score returned by the database.
