    Follow these steps to configure URL Filtering profiles and settings that meet your organization’s business and security needs.
    After you plan your URL filtering deployment, you should have a basic understanding of the types of websites your users are accessing. Use this information to create a URL Filtering profile that defines how the firewall handles traffic to specific URL categories. You can also restrict the sites to which users can submit corporate credentials or enforce strict safe search. To activate these settings, apply the URL Filtering profile to Security rules that allow web access.
    Follow these steps to configure URL Filtering profiles and settings that meet your organization’s business and security needs. See Advanced URL Filtering: Configure URL Filtering for detailed steps.
    1. Go to
      Manage
      Configuration
      NGFW and
      Prisma Access
      Security Services
      URL Access Management
    2. Review and customize General URL Filtering Settings.
      Automatically append end tokens to URLs in an EDL or a custom URL category
      If you use URLs in custom URL categories or external dynamic lists (EDLs) and do not append an ending token, it is possible to allow more URLs than you intended. For example, entering example.com as a matching URL instead of example.com/ would also match example.com.website.info or example.com.br.Prisma Access can automatically set an ending token to URLs in EDLs or custom URL categories so that, if you enter example.com, Prisma Access treats it as it would treat example.com/ and only match that URL.
      Go to
      Settings
      General Settings
       and enable the option to
      Append End Token to Entries
      .
    3. Create a URL Access Management profile.
    4. Apply the URL Access Management profile to a Security 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).
    5. Select
      Save
       and
      Push Config
