Managing block and notification pages

When a policy denies access to a resource or needs to inform the user of an event, Forcepoint Web Security Cloud can display an appropriate notification page. There is a standard set of notification pages included with Forcepoint Web Security Cloud, and you can either modify these to suit your needs, or add your own pages. You can then refer to the notification pages from any of your policies.

To view the list of notification pages, click Web in the portal’s main menu bar, then under Policy Management, click Block & Notification Pages.

Each notification is a complete HTML page, and you can use any valid HTML within the pages. Some markup strings and tags are available – for example, an “access denied” image and a placeholder to contain the reason that a page was blocked. These tags are listed and described in the Forcepoint Web Security Cloud Help.

You can create multiple language versions of block and notification pages to display to end users, allowing a single corporate policy to be applied to a multi-national user base. If you create multiple language versions of standard or custom pages, the most appropriate version of the page is served to end users based on their browser settings. The language version displayed to end users will be the version that matches the primary language set in the user’s browser, if a version exists for that language. If a version does not exist, the default language version will be used.
