Use an External Dynamic List in a URL Filtering Profile (

Strata Cloud Manager

)

Enable
Prisma Access
to reference an external dynamic list.
An external dynamic list allows you to define an imported list of IP addresses, URLs, or domain names that you can use in policy rules to block or allow traffic.
To set up an external dynamic list, go to
Manage
Configuration
Objects
External Dynamic Lists
:
Ensure that the list does not include IP addresses or domain names; the firewall skips non-URL entries.
Use the custom URL list guidelines to verify the list’s formatting.
Specify the
List Type
as
URL List
.
Use the external dynamic list with URL Filtering.
Go to
Manage
Configuration
Security Services
URL Access Management
.
Specify
Site Access
for the URLs in the external dynamic list.
Exclude URLs in the external dynamic list from advanced inline categorization.
You can also use external dynamic lists to create custom URL categories (return to the URL Access Management dashboard to do this).
If a URL that is included in an external dynamic list is also included in a custom URL category, or block and allow list, the action specified in the custom category takes precedence over the external dynamic list.
Test that the policy action is enforced.
View the external dynamic list entries (
Manage
Configuration
Objects
External Dynamic Lists
) and try to access a URL from the list.
Verify that the action you defined is enforced in the browser.
