Configuring SonicWALL Content Filtering Service
Consent
The Consent tab allows you to enforce content filtering on designated computers and provide
optional filtering on other computers. Consent can be configured to require the user to agree to the
terms outlined in an Acceptable Use Policy window before Web browsing is allowed.
To enable the Consent properties, select Require Consent.
• Maximum Web Usage (minutes) - In an environment where there are more users than comput-
ers, such as a classroom or library, time limits are often imposed. The SonicWALL security appli-
ance can be used to remind users when their time has expired by displaying the page defined in
the Consent page URL field. Enter the time limit, in minutes, in the Maximum Web usage field.
When the default value of zero (0) is entered, this feature is disabled.
• User Idle Timeout (minutes) - After a period of Web browser inactivity, the SonicWALL security
appliance requires the user to agree to the terms outlined in the Consent page before accessing
the Internet again. To configure the value, follow the link to the Users window and enter the desired
value in the User Idle Timeout section.
• Consent Page URL (optional filtering) - When a user opens a Web browser on a computer
requiring consent, they are shown a consent page and given the option to access the Internet with
or without content filtering. This page must reside on a Web server and be accessible as a URL by
users on the network. It can contain the text from, or links to an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). This
page must contain links to two pages contained in the SonicWALL security appliance, which, when
selected, tell the SonicWALL security appliance if the user wishes to have filtered or unfiltered
access. The link for unfiltered access must be <192.168.168.168/iAccept.html> and the link for fil-
tered access must be <192.168.168.168/iAcceptFilter.html>, where the SonicWALL security appli-
ance LAN IP Address is used instead of 192.168.168.168"\.
• Consent Accepted URL (filtering off) - When a user accepts the terms outlined in the Consent
page and chooses to access the Internet without the protection of Content Filtering, they are
shown a Web page confirming their selection. Enter the URL of this page in the Consent
Accepted (filtering off) field. This page must reside on a Web server and be accessible as a URL
by users on the network.
• Consent Accepted URL (filtering on) - When a user accepts the terms outlined in the Consent
page and chooses to access the Internet with the protection of Content Filtering, they are shown a
Web page confirming their selection. Enter the URL of this page in the Consent Accepted (filter-
ing on) field. This page must reside on a Web server and be accessible as a URL by users on the
network.
