Common

User Defined Categories

The

User Defined Categories

section looks like this:

Using this section, you can configure your own categories for URL classifica-
tion with names and abbreviated name formats. You can configure up to 15
categories this way.

The abbreviated format is needed for two purposes: the log files and the
X-Attribute header. The X-Attribute header is a type of REQMOD/RESPMOD
header, and is a compatibility setting used to simplify the cooperation between
the ICAP server and client.

Note that after changing an abbreviated name (all the possible values of the
X-Attribute header will be sent in the OPTIONS response), ICAP clients may
run into problems until the next OPTIONS request if they rely on previous OP-
TIONS responses.

The categories that you configure here will be shown on the

Category Actions

tab under

URL Filter > Category Actions

, where you can configure actions,

e. g.

Block

,

Block, log and notify

,

Allow

etc. for these categories.

After specifying the appropriate settings, click on

Apply Changes

to make

them effective.
