Using Windows Group Policies in User policy package

[jdwall]

I've been using the gp under User Config > Windows Settings > Internet
Explorer Maintenance > Connection > Proxy Settings in the User policy
Package for a while now to prevent students from getting to https sites.

There are some sites though that we had to the Exception list which has
worked fine until I added a new one which is:
https://secure.ontariocolleges.ca/sso/auth

When this one is added it seems the gp doesn't work at all, ie students
can go to any https site they want, when I remove this exception they're
blocked again.

Someone else told me there was a character limit to the exception list
so I tried removing all other exceptions except the one above and it
still doesn't work.

I am unable to find any other info on this. Does anyone have any
ideas?

Thanks.

I think I found the problem, I replaced
https://secure.ontariocolleges.ca/sso/auth with
https://*.ontariocolleges.ca and that resolved it.
