Based on your policy configuration, access to blocked websites direct the user to a message which can be customized to remind them of the current Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). CyBlock Proxy v6.7 and CyBlock ISA / TMG v6.7 now offers the ability for the user to proceed beyond the blocked page through a feature called coaching. A custom blocking message does not automatically have coaching enabled because of a required token needed in the body of the blocking message. In order to enable the coaching feature with a custom blocking message, follow the below steps.
- Open the folder that contains the Standard Web Blocking Message file. The default location of this file is [INSTALL PATH]\wc\cyblock\db\stdBlkMsg.htm.
- Make a copy of this file, and rename the copy to CustomBlockedMessage.htm.
- Edit the HTML of ‘CustomBlockedMessage.htm’ to meet your needs. Your Custom Blocked Message file must contain *tokens {0} through {4}. Include the Coaching token ({6}) to enable the Coaching feature in the Block Web Categories Screen.
- Save your ‘CustomBlockedMessage.htm’ file
- Ensure the “Message Source” option is selected.
- Browse to and select your CustomBlockedMessage.htm file.
- Apply your changes by clicking the Submit button.
- You will now have the coaching feature option with your custom blocking message.
