## 3.4.9 Managing Authorized URLs

Create and manage a list of authorized URLs.

Authorized URLs identify the list of URLs that can be used as parameter values of certain Oracle APEX procedures. This includes the `APEX_UTIL.COUNT_CLICK` procedure, which has an input parameter named `P_NEXT_URL`.

If the parameter value to `P_NEXT_URL` is not a relative URL and not to the current host name, then it must be contained in this list of Authorized URLs.
