One thought on “Which URL profiling action does not generate a log entry when a user attempts to access that URL?”

1. URL Filtering Security Profile Actions

   Action – Description
   Alert – The website is allowed and a log entry is generated in the URL filtering log.

   Allow – The website is allowed and no log entry is generated.

   Block – The website is blocked and the user will see a response page and will not be able to continue to the website. A log entry is generated in the URL Filtering log.Blocking of site access for a URL category also sets User Credential Submissions for that URL category to “block.”

   Continue – The user will be prompted with a response page indicating that the site has been blocked due to company policy, but the user is prompted with the option to continue to the website. The “continue” action typically is used for categories that are considered benign and is used to improve the user experience by giving the user the option to continue if they consider the site to be incorrectly categorized. The response page message can be customized to contain details specific to your company. A log entry is generated in the URL Filtering log. The Continue webpage doesn’t display properly on client systems configured to use a proxy server.

   Override – The user will see a response page indicating that a password is required to allow access to websites in the given category. With this option, the security administrator or helpdesk person would provide a password granting temporary access to all websites in the given category. A log entry is generated in the URL Filtering log. The Override webpage doesn’t display properly on client systems configured to use a proxy server.

   None – The “none” action applies only to custom URL categories. Select none to ensure that, if
   multiple URL Filtering profiles exist, the custom category will not have any impact on other profiles. For example, if you have two URL Filtering profiles and the custom URL category is set to block in one profile, if you do not want the “block” action to apply to the other profile, you must set the action to none. Also, to delete a custom URL category, the category must be set to none in any profile where it is used.
