Passphrase

Passphrase helps to build a password-protected web page. Only authorized users can access the password-protected web page by entering the correct password which was set during the page build.

To create a password-protected web page

  1. Navigate to OBJECT | Action Profiles > Security Action Profile.
  2. Do one of the following:

    • Add a new Security Action Profile.

      1. Click the Add icon.
      2. Enter an Action Profile Name.
    • Edit an existing Security Action Profile.

      Hover over an existing Security Action Profile and click the Edit icon.

  3. Click the Content Filter tab.
  4. Enable Content Filtering to activate SonicWall's Content Filtering service.
  5. Select a Content Filter Action.

    • None
    • Confirm
    • Passphrase

    The content filter action is applied to your security rule using the profile that has the action set to CFS.

  6. Scroll to the Passphrase option.

  7. Enter the passphrase or password for the website in the Enter Password field. The password can be up to 64 characters.

    The Mask Password option is enabled by the default. Disabling this option converts the password into plain text and the entry in the Confirm Password field becomes visible.

  8. Enter the same passphrase or password again in the Confirm Password field.
  9. Enter the effective duration, in minutes, for a passphrase based on category or domain in the Active Time (minutes) field.

    The minimum time is 1, the maximum is 9999, and the default is 60.

  10. Do one of the following with Passphrase Page code:

    1. No action is required to continue with the default web page.
    2. Make the necessary changes to the default code if you want to customize the web page.
    3. Click Clear to enter your own code for a new web page.
  11. Click Preview to preview the web page.

    If you continue with the default web page, website URL, Client IP address, policy, reason, and active minutes along with a field for entering the password are shown in the preview.

  12. Click Close to go back to Security Action Profile page.
  13. Click Default if you wish to continue with the default blocked page.
  14. Click Save.
