Systems and methods for selectably controlling and customizing source
access to a network, where the source is associated with a source
computer, and wherein the source computer has transparent access to the
network via a gateway device and no configuration software need be
installed on the source computer to access the network. A user may be
prevented access from a particular destination or site based upon the
user's authorization while being permitted to access to other sites that
the method and system deems accessible. The method and system can
identify a source without that source's knowledge, and can access
customizable access rights corresponding to that source in a source
profile database. The source profile database can be a remote
authentication dial-in user service (RADIUS) or a lightweight directory
access protocol (LDAP) database. The method and system use source
profiles within the source profile database to dynamically authorize
source access to networks and destinations via networks.
