Configuration Tool

See Related Terms and Questions at the end of this section for more details on KioWare security.

Security Tab

The settings below appear on the main Security tab.  This tab contains “Protocol Access”, “Browsing Access”, and “Scripting Access” buttons that show additional screens for setting up access lists for protocols, browsing, and scripting, as well as the “Add New” button for adding managed dialogs.  For details on these windows, see the sections for Protocol Access List Configuration Screen, Browsing Access List Configuration Screen, Scripting Access List Configuration Screen, and Managed Dialog Configuration Screen that come after these Security tab settings.

Access Lists

• Browsing Access - Select this button to set the access lists for browsing (see Browsing Access List Configuration Screen below).
• Protocol Access - Select this button to set the access lists for protocols (see Protocol Access List Configuration Screen below).
• Scripting Access - Select this button to set the access lists for scripting (see Scripting Access List Configuration Screen below).

Watchdog Support

• Enable Crash Detection - If checked, the built-in watchdog will “watch” KioWare as it continues running and will restart if KioWare crashes.
• Enable Hang Detection - If checked, the built-in watchdog will “watch” KioWare as it continues running and will restart if KioWare “hangs up” and stops working.
• Hang Detection Timeout - The length of time (in seconds) that the built-in watchdog can remain “hung up” and unable to “talk” with KioWare before it restarts itself (default is 180).
• Web App Monitoring List - Use these settings to configure which browsed URLs are to be monitored by KioWare.
  • Add New URL - Select the “Add New” button (see image above) to add a new URL to be monitored.  A popup window displays the related settings (see “Edit URL” below for descriptions of these settings).  Added URLs show in the “Monitor URLs” pane below.
  • Edit URL - Select the pencil icon (see image above) to edit a URL.  A popup window displays the following settings:
    • URL - Enter a URL (or file path).  KioWare will compare this URL to URLs that are browsed during a user session, and if there is a match, the URL will be monitored.  Select the “EXACT”/“REGEX” icon to switch between exact matching or matching for a regular expression (see Browser Tab, Related Terms and Questions for details on regular expressions).
    • Reload Webpage Timeout - Set the maximum amount of time (in seconds) that a page hang-up can last before the URL is automatically reloaded.

Related Terms and Questions

If the answers to your questions are not in this table, visit the KioWare website for frequently asked questions (FAQs).

My domains and pages are not being blocked/allowed as I set them up on my browsing access list.	When you add a domain and block or allow it, any pages you add under that domain automatically have a block/allow state that is the opposite of what your domain has.  Pages that are allowed cannot be added under a domain that is allowed, and pages that are blocked cannot be added under a domain that is blocked.  Below are some hints for setting up your browsing access lists.
How do I allow a domain and all pages in it?	On the Browsing Access List Configuration screen, select the “New Domain” button to add a new domain entry in the pane below.  Set the “All Pages” slider to “Allow”.
How do I block a domain and all pages in it?	On the Browsing Access List Configuration screen, select the “New Domain” button to add a new domain entry in the pane below.  Set the “All Pages” slider to “Block”.
How do I allow an entire domain except for a few pages that should be blocked?	On the Browsing Access List Configuration screen, select the “New Domain” button to add a new domain entry in the pane below.  Set the “All Pages” slider to “Allow”.  For each individual page to be blocked, select the “Add Page” button and enter the page name.
How do I block an entire domain except for a few pages that should be allowed?	On the Browsing Access List Configuration screen, select the “New Domain” button to add a new domain entry in the pane below.  Set the “All Pages” slider to “Block”.  For each individual page to be allowed, select the “Add Page” button and enter the page name.
KioWare shows a page that says “Page Blocked”.	This is the Navigation Blocked page that shows when you are trying to access a blocked domain or web page (see above for details on allowing/blocking pages).  Select the “Go Back” button to show the prior page, or choose the “Go to Start Page” button to return to your start page (see General Tab, Start Page URL for details on the start page).  The Navigation Blocked page can also be customized (see below).
Can I customize the Navigation Blocked page?	Yes, it is an HTML file that can be customized.  See Configuration Tool, Customizing Warning and Other Pages for details on locating and customizing this file.
What is Basic Authentication?	A basic authenticated website will ask for a user's credentials (generally, username and password) when the user tries to log onto it.  This information lets the website verify who the user really is.  In KioWare, you can automatically send a basic authenticated website your username and password when you log on (select the “Send a Specific Set of Credentials” mode on the Edit Basic Authentication Entry window and enter the “Username” and “Password”).  Or, you can tell KioWare that you want to manually enter them each time you try to log onto the website (select the “Prompt User for Credentials” mode on the Edit Basic Authentication Entry window).  You can also tell KioWare to automatically use basic authentication when importing remote settings files (see General Tab, Remote Settings Configuration, Authentication Settings).
What is mime type?	Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME or mime) types give special labels to file types, often based on file extensions, so that web browsers, web browsers, and other Internet programs manage the files in the same way.  A mime type generally has two parts: a type (e.g., text or application) and a subtype (e.g., html or pdf), separated by a diagonal slash (/).  A server may issue a mime type for a file (e.g., text/html or application/pdf), and then a client (computer or machine trying to talk to the server) will then know how to handle that file (e.g., treat it as a standard HTML document and show it in the default browser, or use the default PDF viewer to show it).  In KioWare, the “Mime Type” and “Download Action” are paired using the Download Rule Editor window (to show this window, use the “Download Manager” button on this tab and then select the “Add Download Rule” or the pencil icon).
What is mime type matching?	Matching of mime type tells a client (see above) what patterns to look for in a mime type and what to do if these patterns are found.  The “EXACT”/“REGEX” icon on the Download Rule Editor window (see above) tells the client how to match mime type.  If set to “EXACT”, the client looks for only an exact match, with no other characters before or after.  If set to “REGEX”, the client matches on a regular expression (see Browser Tab, Related Terms and Questions for details on regular expressions).  Once a match is found, the client will complete the “Download Action” you assigned to the mime type (see above).
