Allow an Invalid URL

Hello, I want to allow a website that is classified as Invalid URL because of its expired certificate. I have " block invalid URLs" checked under the web filter profile and I want to keep it. Is there a way of adding an invalid URL to an exception list or something without unchecking the " block invalid URLs" ? Thanks.

You can create a " URL filter" and under URL-filter --> website name, action->Exempt. web filter profile-> advance-> use that URL filter. Please look at page-160, it has a good flow-chart. http://kb.fortinet.com/kb/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=fortigate-utm-40-mr3pdf&sliceId=&docTypeID=DT_PRODUCTDOCUMENTATION_1_1&dialogID=35126689&stateId=0 0 35128674

Adding an invalid URL to the exception list under URL Filter will not allow the website. Fortigate usually block invalid URLs which SSL certificate presents a problem, if the block invalid url is checked under web filter profile. I' m looking to allow a website which is classified as invalid without unchecking that box. An example for that site would be: https://unssca.uneca.org/unssca
