• Default action. You can configure the action the appliance should take when none of the
other settings apply. Click the link under the Default Action column for the policy group
you want to configure.
Note — The configured default action only affects the transaction when no decision is
made based on URL category or Web Reputation score. If Web Reputation filtering is
disabled, the default action applies to all transactions that match a Monitor action in a
URL category. If Web Reputation filtering is enabled, the default action is used only if the
Monitor action is selected for sites with no score.
After a Decryption Policy group is assigned to an HTTPS request, the control settings for the
policy group are evaluated to determine whether to drop, pass through, or decrypt the HTTPS
connection request. For more information about assigning a Decryption Policy group to an
HTTPS request, see “Policy Group Membership” on page 113.
Figure 10-9 on page 209 shows how the appliance determines which action to take on an
HTTPS request after it has assigned a particular Decryption Policy to the request.
