Security Policy Rule for Application and URL Category

gaitken — Thu, 16 Aug 2012 11:00:27 GMT

Hi,

We have recently updated to 4.1.6 which gives more funtioinality regarding Security Policies.

I would like to know what steps are required to mix apps and URL categories in a single policy.

I had wanted to grant a user iTunes Access by Adding App-ID - 'itunes' and under the Service/URL Category - have 'Online Music'.

I believe this would remove the need to configure a whole URL filtering profile. But wanted to confirm ewxactly how this works or if ive misunderstood the functionality of this.

Any comment s would be apprciated.

If you click on the table border in security policies you can display the additional urlcategory column which is as you mentioned so you dont need to configure a whole url filtering profile as previously (which gives that the url filtering profile is to be used when you need more than one url category to be matched).

So yes if your allow rule is appid:itunes and urlcategory:online music it means that both must match for this rule to get a hit.
