Using the Websense Integrated Services Protocol in flow mode

Websense Integrated Services Protocol (WISP) servers can be used server in flow mode, which allows the FortiGate to send traffic to the third-party web filtering service for rating. This feature was previously only supported in proxy-based security profiles.

When a WISP server is used in a web filter profile, in flow or proxy mode, the following web filter scanning priority sequence is used:

  1. Local URL filter
  2. Websense web filtering service
  3. FortiGuard web filtering service
To use a WISP server in flow mode:
  1. Configure the WISP servers:
    config web-proxy wisp
        edit "wisp1"
            set server-ip 10.2.3.4
        next
        edit "wisp2"
            set server-ip 10.2.3.5
        next
        edit "wisp3"
            set server-ip 192.168.1.2
        next
        edit "wisp4"
            set server-ip 192.168.3.4
        next
    end
  2. Configure the web filter profile:
    config webfilter profile
        edit "webfilter_flowbase"
            set feature-set flow
            config ftgd-wf
                unset options
                config filters
                    edit 64
                        set category 64
                        set action block
                    next
                end
            end
            set wisp enable
            set wisp-servers "wisp1" "wisp2"
            set wisp-algorithm {primary-secondary | round-robin | auto-learning}
            set log-all-url enable
        next
    end
