Your System Policy has denied access to the requested URL.

Tech support information: policy_denied 

Environment

Web Security Service

Cause

The policy_denied exception page is displayed because there is a policy rule that matched and denied access to this page. For example, if a rule is added to the policy in Group A, which also has the category set to Gambling and is in the blocked category list, the policy_denied exception page is displayed.



Resolution

To have the content_filter_denied exception page displayed instead of the policy_denied page, follow these steps:

  1. Remove any policy rules that block user requests by category
  2. Add the category under G3 Blocked Categories
