Apr 10, 2019 — ETP updates

New user interface for a policy. A new user interface is now available for a policy configuration. Administrators can now more easily assign a policy action and the response that’s delivered to users.

These changes apply:

• For an ​Akamai​ security category and a list in a policy, separate menus are provided to assign an action, the response to users, and a security connector.

• If you select the Block action, you can then select the block type in the Response to User menu. In this menu, you can select Error Page, a specific custom response, or if ​SIA​ Proxy is disabled, you can also select Refused Response. These settings allow you to apply the actions that were formerly called Block – Error Page, Custom – Response, and Block – DNS.

• To assign a Security Connector, you select the Block action and the Error Page response. After this is done, you can select a security connector from the Security Connector menu. These settings allow you to apply the action that was formerly called Block – Sinkhole. If you don’t want to assign a Security Connector to an Error Page response, in the Security Connector menu, you can select None.

• The Allow policy action is now available for custom lists and top-level domain (TLD) lists only.

• You can apply the same policy settings to all known and suspected threats associated with an ​Akamai​ security category, a custom list, or a TLD list.

For more information about configuring a policy, see the online help.
