Custom ZTNA virtual host replacement message

Custom messages can be configured for each ZTNA virtual host, to be shown when verification fails. The ZTNA detail tag (%%ZTNA_DETAIL_TAG%%) can be included to show the reason for the verification failure.

To use a custom replacement message:
  1. Configure a replacement message group that includes the ZTNA detail tag in the message:

    config system replacemsg-group
        edit "test-vhost"
            set comment ''
            set group-type utm
            config webproxy
                edit "ztna-block"
                    set buffer "This is a test message: %%ZTNA_DETAIL_TAG%%"
                    set header http
                    set format html
                next
            end
        next
    end 
  2. Apply the replacement message group to a virtual host:

    config firewall access-proxy-virtual-host
        edit "test"
            set host "10.1.200.102"
            set replacemsg-group "test-vhost"
        next
    end
