Configuring HTTP Clientless Notification

The HTTP Clientless Notification feature notifies users when Gateway Anti-Virus detects an incoming threat from an HTTP server.

If this feature is disabled, when GAV detects an incoming threat from an HTTP server, Gateway Anti-Virus blocks the threat and the user receives a blank HTTP page. Typically, users will attempt to reload the page because they are not aware of the threat. The HTTP Clientless Notification feature informs the user that Gateway Anti-Virus detected a threat from the HTTP server.

The HTTP Clientless Notification feature is also available for SonicWall Anti-Spyware.

To configure this feature

1. Under Policy, navigate to Security Services > Anti-Spyware.

2. Under Status/Settings page, enable the Enable Anti-Spyware toggle button.

3. Select Accept.

   

4. Click on the Configure button.

   

5. In HTTP Clintless notification, select Enable HTTP Clientless Notification Alerts. This option is selected by default.
6. Optionally, enter a message in the Message to Display when Blocking field. The default message is This request is blocked by the Firewall Gateway Anti-Virus Service.

You can configure a timeout for the HTTP Clientless Notification Timeout for Gateway Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware on the Security Services > Summary page under the Enhanced Security heading.
