Cisco Cisco Web Security Appliance S690 사용자 가이드

The Web Security appliance ships with many predefined URL categories by default, such as Web-based 
Email and more. However, you can also create user defined custom URL categories that specify specific 
hostnames and IP addresses. You might want to create custom URL categories for internal sites or a 
group of external sites you know you can trust. 

Create, edit, and delete custom URL categories on the Web Security Manager > Custom URL Categories 
page.

The Web Security appliance uses the first four characters of custom URL category names preceded by 
“c_” in the access logs. Consider the custom URL category name if you use Sawmill for IronPort to parse 
the access logs. If the first four characters of the custom URL category include a space, Sawmill for 
IronPort cannot properly parse the access log entry. Instead, only use supported characters in the first 
four characters if you will use Sawmill for IronPort to parse the access logs. If you want to include the 
full name of a custom URL category in the access logs, add the %XF format specifier to the access logs. 
For more information on how to do this, see 

It is possible to create multiple custom URL categories and include the same URL in each category. The 
order of the custom URL categories matters. Categories listed higher in the list take priority over 
categories listed lower. When you include these custom URL categories in the same Access, Decryption, 
or Cisco IronPort Data Security Policy group and define different actions to each category, the action of 
the higher included custom URL category takes effect. 

Navigate to the Web Security Manager > Custom URL Categories page.

To create a custom URL category, click Add Custom Category. To edit an existing custom URL 
category, click the name of the URL category.

Add a custom URL category.

Edit custom URL category.

Delete custom URL category.
