Confirm Option

Requiring confirmation (consent) only works for HTTP requests. HTTPS requests cannot be redirected to a Confirm page. For more information, see About the Confirm Feature.

This screen appears in the Add CFS Action Object dialog. To open the dialog, navigate to Object > Action Objects > Content Filter Actions page and click the Add button at the top of the page.

To create a restricted web page that requires confirmation before a user can view it:

1. Under Operation Configurations, click the Confirm tab.

   

2. Enter the time, in minutes, of the effective duration for a confirmed user, based on category or domain in the Active Time (minutes) field. The minimum time is 1 minute, the maximum is 9999, and the default is 60 minutes.

3. A default page is defined already, but you can fully customize the web page that is displayed to the user when access to a confirm site is attempted. Or, you can create your own page.

   • To see a preview of the display, click the Preview button.

   • If you have not modified the provided code, clicking the Preview button displays the default web page. The web site URL, Client IP address, block policy, and the reason for the block are shown along with a field for entering the confirmation.

     To remove all content from the Confirm Page field, click the Clear button.

     To revert to the default blocked page message, click the Default button.
