Url Database" Tab - Stormshield SN series Configuration Manual

Details
The fields in this section allow editing the name of the group and adding comments, if any.
The table summarizes all the customized or dynamic categories contained in the group selected
in the left column. The button Edit this group shows a window similar to the creation window,
allowing categories to be added to or deleted from the group.

"URL database" tab

This tab allows changing the URL categories provider/certificate name.
According to the type of option subscribed (See Stormshield Network's current pricing policy),
the available URL lists are updated dynamically by a URL database provider. When a "standard"
maintenance service is subscribed, by default, Stormshield Network URL lists will be suggested.
The new provider Extended Web Control offers a URL database hosted in the cloud. The
advantage of this URL filter is its higher quality compared to the embedded solutions.
If you have subscribed to the option Stormshield Network EWC, in order to enable the URL filter
feature on Extended Web Control URL lists, select the entry from the list of suggested providers.
URL database provider By default, Stormshield Network's URL database will be selected.
Updates for Stormshield Network URL lists can be downloaded from the Active Update module.
This module allows you to modify the addresses of update servers if a mirror site is used.
A box below the drop-down list displays the information concerning the URL categories of the
provider currently in use (names of categories and their descriptions).
If the provider has been changed, a warning message will appear, informing the user that
any URL filter policy using a category from the current provider will cease to operate. During
the migration, you are advised to apply a URL filter policy that does not involve URL
categories that are about to be deleted. This is due to different category names according to
the URL databases.
Likewise, older URL filter policies with rules containing Extended Web Control categories
have to be rewritten with the categories from the Stormshield Network Extended Web
Control database.
If the servers are temporarily inaccessible, a page will indicate that the query mechanism for the
classification of the site will be automatically relaunched.
