Allowing access to a specific URL path

[JPR]

Hello there,

I have a server behind a firewall that doesn't and mustn't full internet access.

However, it needs to be possible to use Copilot on it and thus needs access to some specific URL paths as listed here: https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/managing-copilot/managing-github-copilot-in-your-organization/con...

As mentioned elsewhere on here HTTPS Inspection is needed in order to achieve that so that has been enabled.

As far as I can see I then should be able to whitelist these URL paths in the above link by using a "Custom Application Site/Group", however, I don't seem to be able get the syntax right.

So my question is:

- Is it possible in the way I have described it above to allow access to a specific URL path?

And if so, how should I make the "Custom Application Site/Group".

And of course, if it has to be done in another way, I'd like to know that as well 😉

Thanks and best regards!

Hi JPR,

Yes you touch the neuralgic point, the HTTPs Inspection. You can have a test without enable this, but maybe the categorization won't work properly.

Feature - HTTPS Filtering

Categorization of HTTPS sites without HTTPS inspection (passive HTTPS). Supports URL Filtering on HTTPS traffic without HTTPS inspection.

To enable it, enable the URL Filtering blade:
In SmartDashboard, go to Application & URL Filtering tab -> Advanced -> Engine Settings -> Enable "Categorize HTTPS sites", and install Security Policy.
