On my PA 9.1.0 firewall, Ive created a custom URL category 'Akamai' with a url list comprising *.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com
In my security policy i have a rule allowing any source (trust zone) to reach any destination (untrust zone) via any protocol and any application. The rule specifies 'Akamai' under the Services/URL category. log and allow is set. Any ideas why my rule is not matching? I see likely traffic falling through to a later rule.

Hi @JimMcGrady ,
If you don't decrypt then the firewall can't see the url ... it will be encrypted.
In that case the firewall will rely on the certificate information or the SNI to identify the category.

Hi @JimMcGrady ,
Can you add some more details ?
Is it SSL traffic ? If so are you decrypting it correctly ? How is the traffic identified by the firewall ?

It is https (ssl) traffic. I am not decrypting. However i would have thought the rule would match on URL rather than on content.
This is the procedure i have followed
