Indigo Central Database
The Indigo Scape Central Security Database and Schema contains
information on Users, Groups, Approved Websites, Banned Websites,
Internet Filters, Website Activity and other Security related
details.
All Indigo Scape Clients connect to the Indigo Central Database
and the System can be managed from any Network location that

complete centralized network management of all Internet resources
allowing optimal control, monitoring and management of Internet
use.
Indigo Client Application
Indigo Scape is a client based Internet Management System
that uses a shared Security Database with the Indigo Application
implementing the Security at the 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.
Internet Access Control
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 User is validated

as a secure environment for accessing all Internet resources
and provides options 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.
Secure Internet Console
Indigo Scape features a Secure Console for accessing Internet
resources and is the central point of access for all Users.
The Console features shortcuts to the Indigo Scape Browser,
Users Approved Websites and Downloads. The Indigo Scape Internet

Browser creating a more interactive experience in a secure
environment.
