XGS - How to make an Exception for unauthenticated users

Question

Hello, 
 on my old UTM i got an exception which gave web access to unauthenticated users to several domains like microsoft.com or windowsupdate.com. 
 How is that possible on xgs? The Webfilter does not contain an exception for authentication.

If I understand the question correctly, you want "devices" to access those URL. So that would be a classic network firewall rule with no authentication enabled. 
 allow network A to *.microsoft.com port 443 
 similar to the screenshot, or course with wildcard FQDN as destination

Essentially SFOS does not support unauthenticated requests, as the requests has to be sorted before that. 
 Therefore you need to create a wildcard firewall Rule for microsoft without Authentication. It essentially lead to the same.
