Content type hearder charset=UTF-8
Hello friends, We have a requirement to have WAF should only allow charset=UTF-8 in the Content-Type header. So curios does this cover by any rule in ASM policy or do we have to create a custom rule through iRule or other ? Basically our objective to accept only ute-8 and reject rest of any. Appreciate any inputs !!
LDAPS and renegotiation
Hello, hope everyone is well! we have a requirement to present 2 different issuer/signed certificates based on the incoming client IP. I am pretty sure from an HTTP perspective I would do something like this when CLIENT_ACCEPTED { if {([class match [IP::client_addr] eq signer_list_of_client_A_IPs]) } { SSL::profile cert_with_issuer_type_A } else { SSL::profile cert_with_issuer_type_B } } when HTTP_REQUEST { SSL::renegotiate } Question I have is whether this would work for LDAPS clients and how (if needed at all) the renegotiation step would be achieved, given that the HTTP_REQUEST will not be available. Many thanks Jon
Need help on i-rule to specific uri path
Hello All, I'm working on an i-rule that I need to do the following; given a set of specific source ip addresses, only allow access to specific uris of /ws/rest/external*. I set the specific source addresses in a data group, referencing the data group. When I apply this i-rule to the virtual server, on testing I get an Insecure HTTPS message. I am on version 15.8.1.2. We plan to upgrade to most stable release on 16 soon. Any suggestions on what I can do with the i-rule posted below? Thanks in advance. when CLIENT_ACCEPTED { if { [class match [IP::client_addr] equals Boomi_external] } { pool esd-bmapi-dc1-as01-f5.lanl.gov_8077_pool } } when HTTP_REQUEST { if ![HTTP::has_responded] { if { ([HTTP::host] equals "apigway-d.lanl.gov" or [HTTP::host] equals "apigway-d.lanl.gov") } { if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/ws/rest/external* " || [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/ws/rest/external*" } { pool esd-bmapi-dc1-as01-f5.lanl.gov_8077_pool } else { reject } return } } }
ASM - Parent policy vs OWASPcompliance
Hi folks, I am implementing a WAF in my company and I would like to work with parent and child policies. This way, if we need to add something in general, I can apply it to the parent policy and it will replicate this change to the child policies, instead of going one by one and applying it individually. However, I found out that "Parent and Child Security Policies are not supported by the OWASP Top 10 compliance dashboard." So, I would like to know what the best approach is. Is it worth going ahead with the parent and child policies and ignore the OWASP compliance dashboard? Or, in terms of security, is it better to create a normal ASM policy without parent or child relationships?
F5 ASM Response logging show different timezone from Request logging
Dear All Respected Members, I have a question on f5 AWAF response logging. I am setting up a WAF policy to block attacks and monitor all traffic to and from the real servers. I can see the logs generated for both request & response, but it shown incorrect log timezone for responses. BIG-IP, real server and client are set local time zone GMT+7, but the repone logs are GMT. I have double checked timezone on all devices are configure correctly. Could you advise me what is the root cause and how to fix it?
