Description
This article guides through the process of enabling HTTP/HTTPS header injection using Content Filtering Service (CFS) 4.0.
Common use headers are pre-configured in the appliance. As of Gen7(7.0.0 and above) and Gen6 (6.5.1.0 and above) the following common use headers are included:
- Google G Suite Restrict- Creates restriction of Google domains a user can access. i.e. users can only access company Google accounts
- YouTube Strict Mode- Restricts users to access YouTube strict mode
- YouTube Moderate Mode- Restricts users to access YouTube moderate mode
These header injections are applied through the CFS 4.0 engine and can be applied on a per-policy basis. I.e. students can be applied YouTube strict mode, while teachers can be applied YouTube moderate mode.
3 items are needed to configure:
- Domain for the header to be applied on
- Header Key
- Value for the header
NOTE: For HTTPS sessions, DPI-SSL is required to be able to inject information into the header.
