Automatic Import of Custom URL categories

[Christoph Moormann]

Hello,

is it possible to import a pre-created list of URL/IP addresses updated by security operations on an automated basis into a configured URL category list?

1. On the limited CLI, the best I can think of is to do an expect loadconfig on a single XML part, if this is possible:

<prox_acl_custom_categories>
  <prox_acl_custom_category>
    <prox_acl_custom_category_code>UNIQUEID?</prox_acl_custom_category_code>
    <prox_acl_custom_category_name>POLICY_NAME</prox_acl_custom_category_name>
    <prox_acl_custom_category_policy_use>

    ...

   <prox_acl_custom_category_servers>
   <prox_acl_custom_category_server>server1.tld</prox_acl_custom_category_server>
   <prox_acl_custom_category_server>server2.tld</prox_acl_custom_category_server>

...

</prox_acl_custom_category>

2. Having access to the operating system (which I don't have), could one alter/import the XML file there?

3. Is there any other way to automate the configuration?

Thank you

Christoph

Hello Christoph,

Currently WSA does not support this auto import URL/IP feature and manual modification of configuration file is NOT recommended as we also have unique index number for each category.

Set up those custom category from WSA GUI is always the best practise and highly recommended.

We also have this issue and need a solution.  The Office 365 urls/ranges have hundreds of entries and are updated weekly.
