    • Add a new CFS Profile Object.

      1. Click the Add icon.
      2. Enter a friendly profile object Name.

    • Edit an existing CFS Profile Object.

      Hover over an existing Profile Object and click the Edit icon.

  3. Click the Consent tab.

  4. Enable Consent to display the Consent (Confirm) page when a user visits a site requiring consent before access.

    When this option is selected, the other options become available.

  5. Set the Consent page options:

    User Idle Timeout (minutes)

    To remind users about the remaining time left to expire by displaying the Consent page.

    The minimum idle time is one minute, the maximum is 9999 minutes, and the default is 15 minutes.

      • Unfiltered access: <appliance's LAN IP address>/iAccept.html
      • Filtered access: <appliance's LAN IP address>/iAcceptFilter.html
