Approved URL Lists

HTTP > Configuration > Approved Lists > URL Lists

There might be URLs that you simply want to exempt from the following:

• WRS and file type blocking rules in an HTTP scanning policy

• ActiveX/Applet scanning policies

• URL filtering rules (for example, the corporate intranet, business partner sites, and research tool sites).

• HTTPS decryption policy

You can also add "false positives" to this list.

• Note: Approved lists using the [approved] format cannot be imported. However, blocked and allowed lists using the [blocked] and [allowed] formats can be imported.

The list shows all configured approved URL lists on the system. Click Add to create a new list, or click the list to edit an existing one. After you have created an approved list, you can apply the list in your scanning or filtering policies.

• Note: For HTTPS decryption policies, the strings to match vary depending on whether you set IWSVA in proxy or transparency mode.
  
  - In proxy mode, IWSVA matches the domain names, not the full URL. Thus, you only need to specify the domain names.
  
  - In transparency mode (WCCP or bridge mode), IWSVA matches the CommonNames in the server certificates received.
