Restrict the Web Sites that Use Jive Anywhere

You can provide a list of sites where Jive Anywhere exclusively works (an inclusion list) or a list of sites where you want Jive Anywhere to be unavailable (an exclusion list).

Extended APIs 2.0 and higher allow community admins to create inclusion and exclusion lists in the Jive Anywhere Admin Console page. If you are using the Extended API 1.0 version, you can create these lists by using system properties created for them as describe in Using the Extended APIs 1.0 Plugin.

Using the Extended APIs 2.0 and Higher Plugin

The inclusion/exclusion list of sites that use Jive Anywhere are controlled by a list that you enter in the Jive Anywhere Admin Console page.

Fastpath: Admin Console: System > Settings > Jive Anywhere

To include or exclude sites that use Jive Anywhere:

  1. Click the Restricted Sites tab.
  2. Type the list of sites, using a comma to separate them. For example, you might type: www.jivesoftware.com, www.yourwebsite.com
    Note: Make sure you don't use the "http://" part of the URL in the Property Value field.
  3. Select Inclusion or Exclusion depending on which list you're creating.
  4. Click Submit.

Using the Extended APIs 1.0 Plugin

You can create inclusion and exclusion lists using two system properties:

extended_apis.jiveanywhere.is_inclusion
Use this property to specify which web sites can use Jive Anywhere.
extended_apis.jiveanywhere.restriction_list
Use this property to restrict Jive Anywhere's access to certain web sites. For example, you may want remove Jive Anywhere from your community pages because there's no reason to create a community discussion about a community discussion.

Use the following steps to access and configure these properties.

Fastpath: Admin Console: System > Management > System Properties

To include or exclude sites that use Jive Anywhere:

  1. Scroll down to the Add a New Property section.
  2. Enter extended_apis.jiveanywhere.is_inclusion in the Property Name field.
  3. Set the Property Value to False for an exclusion list or True for an inclusion list.
  4. Click Save Property.
  5. Add the web site list by adding another property with that information:
    1. Enter extended_apis.jiveanywhere.restriction_list in the Property Name field.
    2. In the Property Value field, type the list of web site URLs to include or exclude from using Jive Anywhere. Separate the web site URLs using a semicolon. For example, you might type: www.jivesoftware.com; www.yourwebsite.com
      Note: Make sure you don't use "http://" part of the URL in the Property Value field.
    3. Click Save Property.
