Custom URL Categorization
Overview: Configuring user-defined URL categories and filters
If you want to categorize and filter URL requests from your users, you need to use URL categories and URL filters. If URL categories and filters do not exist on a BIG-IP® system, you can create them.
Complete these tasks before you create a per-request policy that includes items to categorize (URL Category) and filter (URL Filter Assign) URL requests.
Task summary
Creating user-defined URL categories
Create a URL category to specify a group of URLs over which you want to control
access.
Add or edit a URL filter to specify an action (allow or block) for the custom
category.
Configuring URL filters
You configure a URL filter to specify whether to allow or block requests for URLs
in URL categories. You can configure multiple URL filters.
To put a URL filter into effect, you must assign it in a per-request policy. A
per-request policy runs each time a URL request is made.
