SonicOS 7 Profile Objects

Consent Screen

This screen is one of the four screens in Add CFS Profile Object dialog. To open the dialog, navigate Object > Profile Objects > Content Filterpage and click the Add button at the top of the page. Then click Consent tab.

Consent only works for HTTP requests. HTTPS requests cannot be redirected to a Confirm (consent) page.

  1. To enable consent, which displays the Consent (Confirm) page when a user visits a site requiring consent before access, select the Enable Consent option. This option is not selected by default.

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

  2. To remind users that their time has expired by displaying the Consent page, enter the idle-time duration in the User Idle Timeout(minutes) field. The minimum idle time is 1 minute, the maximum is 9999 minutes, and the default is 15 minutes.

  3. In the Consent Page URL (optional filtering) field, enter the URL of the website where a user is redirected if they go to a website requiring consent. The Consent page must:

    • Reside on a web server and be accessible as a URI by users on the network.
    • Contain links to the following two pages in the SonicWall appliance, which, when selected, tell the firewall the type of access the user wishes to have:

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

  4. In the Consent Page URL (mandatory filtering) field, enter the website URL where the user is redirected if they go to a website requiring mandatory filtering. The Consent page must:

    • Reside on a web server and be accessible as a URI by users on the network.

    • Contain a link to the <appliance’s LAN IP address>/iAcceptFilter.html page in the SonicWall appliance, which tells the firewall that the user accepts filtered access.

  5. From the Mandatory Filtering Address drop-down menu, choose an Address Object that contains the configured IP addresses requiring mandatory filtering.

  6. Click Save.
