client computer. The Security settings for a particular
User are retrieved from the Indigo Central Database
when the User Logs on.
Implementing Security at the client has many advantages
including greater control and management, more flexible
configuration, lower network traffic and a customizable
user interface. Furthermore, because the Security settings
are stored in the Central Security Database it doesn't
matter which client computer the User Logs onto the
Security and Interface for that User will be applied
to that computer.

Indigo Scape provides comprehensive security coverage
and Internet Access Control by letting you specify exactly
what Websites can be accessed, by whom and when. The

for a User based on Security settings defined by an
Administrator.
Indigo Scape allows you to set limits on Internet Access
and to time-wasting Web activities while still permitting
Users to reach the sites they need to conduct business.
With Indigo Scape you can completely block the Internet
for some Users or restrict access to only those Websites
which need to be accessed during working hours. You
can also control the Internet by blocking any Website
that you don't want anyone visiting.

Internet resources and is the central point of access
for all Users. The Console features shortcuts to the
