   • Category Match—Provide targeted enforcement for websites that match a set of categories. The website or page must match all the categories defined in the custom category.

   4. Set Site Access for the category.
   5. Set User Credential Submissions for the category.
   6. Save the profile.
7. Apply the URL Access Management profile to a Security policy rule.

   A URL Access Management profile is only active when it’s included in a profile group that a Security policy rule references.

   Follow the steps to activate a URL Access Management profile (and any Security profile). Be sure to Push Config.

   You can also use custom URL categories as Security policy rule match criterion. In this scenario, you do not define site access for the URL category in a URL Filtering profile. Instead, after creating a custom URL category, select the Security policy rule you want to add the custom URL category to (ManageConfiguration Security ServicesSecurity Policy). Under Applications, Services and URLs and URL Category Entities, click Add URL Categories. Select the custom URL category you created, and then Save the Security policy rule.
