ASM search engine configuration query

James,

 

 

You are right there does not appear to much in the way of configuration for Search Engines, although I am not sure there has to be. If you have your site mapping done correctly and are using the right Attack Signatures, then the crawlers/bots from the legitimate search engines should get through and the Attack Signatures should take care of blocking malicious crawlers/bots. If you want to be double sure you are not catching one of the UA strings that needs to be allowed, you can port the logs off to a syslog server and then perhaps have a script that looks for the various UA strings.

 

 

Really once you setup proper site mapping in your policy any legitimate traffic should make it to your web site just fine.
