Second you will need to add a rule to the Identification rule you are using. Go to Policies -> Identification. Open the Identification Policy you are using and right click on the first rule. Click “add condition”. Condition name: URL list. Applies to: Everything except for the items selected below. And then select the new URL list you created in the first step. Save; commit
