white-list <domain>
Configures a whitelist of URLs to allow the
authenticated users to access to a specific
domain.
You can specify the URLs which the users can
access. To allow access to various sites in the
same domain, you can specify a POSIX regular
expression (regex(7)). For example, yahoo.com/*
to provide access to various domains such as
news.yahoo.com, travel.yahoo.com and
finance.yahoo.com. Similarly, the
www.apple.com/library/test is only allow a subset
of www.apple.com site corresponding to path
/library/test/*.

Usage Guidelines
Use this command to configure a walled garden profile. A walled garden access is required when an external
captive portal is used. For example, a hotel environment where the unauthenticated users are allowed to
navigate to a designated login page (for example, a hotel website) and all its contents.
The users who do not sign up for the Internet service can view the “allowed” websites (typically hotel property
websites). The website names must be DNS-based and support the option to define wildcards. This works for
client devices with or without HTTP proxy settings.
