Hello,

 

Is possible to add multiple urls into a white list on the Fortigate 500D ? At the moment I add individual url's in via Web Rating Overrides, but we have a list of about 150 urls to whitelist. Is there any way of adding all these urls to separete category ?

I am using FortiGuard custom category based filter with the following steps: Security profiles - Web rating overrides - New Web Rating Overrides - insert URL On 4th step insert URL I need insert 150 URL to the custom category

Thank you

If it's a static list you could write a script that adds all the urls.  Just make a text file with the matching CLI commands and load it.  See https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/6.0.0/handbook/220261/cli-scripts.

 

If the list is dynamic and you're on 6.2.x, perhaps you could use an external block list (https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/6.2.0/new-features/442297/external-block-list-threat-feed-authentication) to pull in all those URLs and then have your webfilter profiles refer to the new category?  I believe the webfilter "config ssl-exempt" allows you to specify categories, but I haven't tried it.

 

Hopefully somebody else familiar with this will chime in.
