User Defined Categories

The User Defined Categories section looks like this:

Using this section, you can configure your own categories for URL classification 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 OPTIONS 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.

Use the following items to configure your own categories:

The list of category input fields will then be enlarged or reduced according to the number you entered.
