About the Category Update Page

You are here: Security Services > UTM > Web Filtering Category Update.

Use the Category Update page to download and install a new Juniper Enhanced Web Filtering (EWF) category. You can also use the predefined base filter and all categories in the base filter have default actions.

A base filter is an object that contains a category action pair for all categories defined in the category file. predefined base filters, defined in a category file, are supported for individual EWF categories. Each EWF category has a default action in a base filter, which is attached to the user profile to act as a backup filter. If the categories are not configured in the user profile, then the base filter takes the action.

Note:

If you have not installed the UTM license or if the license has expired, J-Web prompts you to install license to proceed with configuring the Category Update page. J-Web also provides the License Management page link for you to install the license on your device.
