Depending on the action defined in the properties of web resource access rules, the application displays a message of one of the following types when a virtual machine user attempts to access web resources (the HTTP server response is replaced by an HTML page with the appropriate message):
- Warning message. This message warns the user that a website is potentially harmful and/or does not comply with the corporate policy. The application displays a warning message if the Warn option is selected from the Action drop-down list in the properties of the rule that describes this website.
If the user believes that the warning is mistaken, the user may click the link from the warning message to open a pre-generated complaint message and send it to the corporate LAN administrator.
- Message informing of blocking of a web resource. The application displays a message that informs that a web resource is blocked, if the Block option is selected from the Action drop-down list in the properties of the rule that describes this web resource.
If the user believes that the web resource was blocked by mistake, the user may click the link from the web resource blocking notification to open a pre-generated complaint message and send it to the corporate LAN administrator.
Special templates are provided for the warning message, web resource blocking notification, and complaint message sent to the corporate LAN administrator. You can modify their content.
