Azure Firewall web categories check not working

Hi,

 

My Azure Firewall has been set up with network and application rules, and they work as expected.

However, after enabling TLS inspection, I am unable to check web categories of URLs successfully.

 

Under Category check, when typing https://www.google.com returns category as 'Search engines + portals'. However, changing the URL https://www.google.com does not return the expected category 'Web-based email'.

 

NOTE: TLS inspection has been configured with the default Azure Key Vault.

 

Can some one give me pointers to get the web category check working?

 

Thanks

James

      I am using Azure Firewall Premium, and am unable to get web categories to work.

       

      Since TLS inspection is enabled, I am assuming that the firewall should differentiate between "http://www.google.com/news" (which I think is 'http') and "https://http://www.google.com/news". This want this to work, but it is not working for me.

       

      Once the above works, I need to use the TLS inspection functionality within "Application Rules" and "URL Filtering" for HTTPS traffic.
