FortiGuard categories can be overridden and defined in different categories. To create a web rating override for the example.com home page the override must be configured using a specific syntax. Which two syntaxes are correct to configure a web rating override for the home page? (Choose two.)

FortiGate's web rating override feature allows administrators to re-categorize websites based on their domain name. The matching engine for this feature operates on the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) or the root domain of the URL, not on specific paths, files, or port numbers. Therefore, specifying www.example.com (the FQDN) or example.com (the root domain) are both valid syntaxes to override the category for the entire site, which inherently includes its home page.

A. www.example.com:443 is incorrect because the web rating override syntax does not support the inclusion of port numbers.
C. www.example.com/index.html is incorrect because web rating overrides apply to entire domains or subdomains, not specific URL paths or filenames.

1. Fortinet FortiOS 7.4.0 Administration Guide

Security Profiles > Web Filter > FortiGuard category based filter > Web Rating Overrides

Page 1239.

The guide states

"Enter the URL for the website that you want to recategorize. For example

www.example.com." This confirms that using an FQDN is a correct syntax. The documentation does not show examples with paths or ports

indicating they are not supported for this specific feature.

2. Fortinet FortiOS 7.2.0 Administration Guide

Security Profiles > Web Filter > FortiGuard category based filter > Web Rating Overrides

Page 1151.

This document provides the same instruction: "Enter the URL for the website that you want to recategorize." The examples and descriptions consistently refer to matching based on the domain name

such as example.com or www.example.com

not on other parts of the URL.
