URL Access Warning Notifications

Notifications > URL Access Warning

A user receives the URL Access Warning Mode notification if the URL Filtering rules action is set to "Warn" and a user attempts to access a URL that belongs to a category prohibited by company policy. The user receives the warning before seeing the Web page.

The user has an option to click one of the following links in the warning message:

• Go back to previous webpage safely OR

• Continue at your own risk (not recommended)

The administrator must first set the category action in the policy to the "Warn" action settings. See URL Filtering Policies: Rules for details.

The configurable parameters in the URL Warning Notification include:

• Headline—Type the header line to appear in the browser. The default headline is Trend Micro InterScan Web Security Event (%h). The headline is common for virus infection messages, file type blocking, and URL blocking messages.

• Note: The URL %U, $$DETAILS and %c tokens can only be used in the main body. %H token only displays below the message.

• You can design your own notification page using any HTML editor; then Import the page to IWSVA (for example, if you want to display company brandings, or provide a link to additional resources).

• You can append a custom message to the IWSVA default by selecting both the Default and Customized options.

• The notification must contain a form to submit necessary information to IWSVA if end users choose to continue. The format is:

<form id="warncontinue" method="post" action="%B$$$IWSX_URL_ACTION$$$">

      <INPUT type=hidden value="%A" name=data>

</form>

• A button or hyperlink must be defined to submit the form about the customized notification for users to continue.
  Example:

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="document.getElementById('warncontinue').submit(); return false;">Continue to this website (not recommended)</a>
