You can add a response page template to a security or ARL profile, or to individual rules in any of those profiles.
Adding a template to a profile
The profile template is displayed when this profile is blocked by any rule. If you select another template for a particular profile, the selected template will be used. If no template is selected for a profile or rule, the default template will be used.
