To create a password-protected web page

1. Under Operation Configurations, click the Passphrase tab.

   

2. In the Enter Password field, enter the passphrase/password for the web site. The password can be up to 64 characters.

3. Enter it again in the Confirm Password field.

4. To have the password masked, select the Mask Password option. This option is selected by default.

   If the option is deselected, the password is displayed in plain text and the entry in the Confirm Password field is invalid.

5. Enter the time, in minutes, of the effective duration for a passphrase 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.

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

   • 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, policy, reason, and active minutes are shown along with a field for entering the password.

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

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