Here are the steps to configure passive/active mode for URL filtering in the Webui (ArrayOS 6.4 or later).

1.        login

2.        enable mode

3.        Caching Proxy -> Global URL Filter -> check “enable”

4.        select mode “active” or “passive”

The passive setting will allow the request to pass through the appliance while keeping a transaction record of the violation.

The active setting will instruct the appliance to drop any request that violates the URL filtering protocols as configured by the user.

By default, the Array is in active mode.
