You can also enable or disable the Policy Acknowledgement Screen in this location: Administration > IWSVA Configuration > User Identification | Policy Acknowledgement Screen.

Display Policy Acknowledgement Screen - When this box is checked, whether or not IWSVA can authenticate users transparently, all users will be directed to the PAS. If IWSVA fails to authenticate the user transparently, there will be an authentication form on the Captive Portal asking users to provide a username and password to continue. If IWSVA has already authenticated the user transparently, users can click the button labeled  "Go" to continue. In both cases, PAS will appear and reveal your company's usage policy for those accessing the Internet. The PAS only appears when the user accesses the Internet for the first time. After that, it does not appear until the cache expires.
