  3. On the Authentication Exceptions page, make note of which filter set is being used for filtering Authentication Exceptions (noted in the bright teal box)
  4. Go to "Website Filtering" -> "Website Access"
  5. Select the filter set that you noted in step 4
  6. Go to "Add a Site" and add an entry for "adobe.com" to be unfiltered
  7. Do the steps above for macromedia.com
  8. Commit your changes
