Viewing the override list
To configure the FortiGuard Web Filtering service
• Go to System > Maintenance > FortiGuard Center.
For additional information, see “Configuring the FortiGate unit for FDN and
FortiGuard services” on page 188.
Users may require access to web sites that are blocked by a policy. In this case,
an administrator can give the user the ability to override the block for a specified
period of time.
When a user attempts to access a blocked site, if override is enabled, a link
appears on the block page directing the user to an authentication form. The user
must provide a correct user name and password or the web site remains blocked.
Authentication is based on user groups and can be performed for local, RADIUS,
and LDAP users. For more information about authentication and configuring user
groups, see “User groups” on page 386.
