An administrator can configure URL Filtering profiles in the Objects section of the PAN-OS GUI. A URL Filtering profile is a collection of URL filtering controls that you can apply to individual Security policy rules that allow access to the internet1. You can set site access for URL categories, allow or disallow user credential submissions, enable safe search enforcement, and various other settings1.

To create a URL Filtering profile, go to Objects > Security Profiles > URL Filtering and click Add. You can then specify the profile name, description, and settings for each URL category and action2. You can also configure other options such as User Credential Detection, HTTP Header Insertion, and URL Filtering Inline ML2. After creating the profile, you can attach it to a Security policy rule that allows web traffic2.

A server profile identifies the external authentication service and instructs the firewall on how to connect to that authentication service and access the authentication credentials for your users. To configure SAML authentication, you must create a server profile and register the firewall and the identity provider (IdP) with each other. You can import a SAML metadata file from the IdP to automatically create a server profile and populate the connection, registration, and IdP certificate information. References: Configure SAML Authentication, Set Up SAML Authentication, Introduction to SAML

The show system fqdn command displays the FQDN objects configured on the firewall and their resolved IP addresses. This can help confirm if the FQDN objects are resolved correctly and if they match the expected traffic. A shadow rule is a rule that is never matched because a preceding rule covers the same traffic. If a shadow rule uses FQDN objects, it is possible that the FQDN objects are not resolved or have different IP addresses than the traffic, causing the rule to be ineffective.
