Confirm

Confirm helps to build a restricted web page that requires the user confirmation to access.

 

• Requiring confirmation (consent) only works for HTTP requests. HTTPS requests cannot be redirected to a Confirm page.
• For HTTPS sites, Client DPI-SSL with Content Filter must be enabled to apply Confirm. For more information, refer to About Confirm Feature.
