Our Fortigate is running what I would consider a relatively simple policy. We are using only FortiGuard Web Filtering. We are blocking the " malware" category and certain sites are being blocked that we want to allow. We are a financial information provider, and our users need access to a well-known site that provides stock market data. They use an application developed by the supplier, but the information is displayed in a web page embedded in the application window. We want to allow all sub-sites in the domain. I' ve tried the following methods, but none of them works:
1. I entered the domain name in the Override list and checked " allow override" in the Fortiguard category section for " Malware" . I tried editing the override rule to specify " directory" and " domain" with the scope " profile" . I do not want users to have to use authentication to go to the site, I just want to enable it.
2. I created a URL Filter group with the domain name (using action " exempt" and " allow" ). I also enabled " Web URL Filter" in the web filtering section and the Filter Group chosen in the drop-down box.
Does anyone have any suggestions? By the way, I have a screen shot of the application window with the blocked URL, but your " click here to upload!" link keeps crashing when I try to upload.
Thanks very much.
