When we have a big list of URLs, we can create a custom category in order to cover all these sites with just one rule. Here are the steps to configure this categorization list.
define category "my-category"
URL or IP or CN
end
E.G:
define category "my-whitelist"
*.google.com
www.bluecoat.com
8.8.8.8
CN=*.facebook.com
end
Asterisk (*) are allowed as wildcards.
Notes:
Go to Policies > Host categorization List > Local.
Edit button (pen icon) under Host Categorization Database Settings.
Specify the URL, and connection details. Click OK
Go to the Host Categorization Status and click on Download Database (lightning icon).
The process will start. After download, the list will be ready to use.
