2. Set the Destination to the URL that needs to be redirected
3. In Action, set a new Return Redirect Object
4. Enter a name for the Object and the Response Code.
5. Enter the value for the URL that it is going to be redirected to.
6. Click Ok,  and install the policy.

 

CPL (Content Policy Language) Example

Allow url.domain=http://ReplaceWithURLToBeRedirected.com action.ReturnRedirect1(yes)

define action ReturnRedirect1
request_redirect(302,".*","https://URLToBeRedirectedTo.com")
end

Note(s):

• When specifying the URL in the "Return Redirect" object, the protocol scheme (HTTP or HTTPS) must be specified (otherwise the page will not load).
  • Example: https://google.com or http://192.168.10.10
• You can also specify an IP address instead of the URL
