Note: FortiOS uses HTTP to send the Authentication Disclaimer page for the user to accept
before the firewall policy is in effect. Therefore, the user must initiate an HTTP traffic first in
order to trigger the Authentication Disclaimer page. Once the Disclaimer is accepted, the
user can send whatever traffic is allowed by the firewall policy.
