blocking different URI but allowing al the other ones

Hi,

 

 

I'm new to F5 and have a problem.

 

I want to disallow some URI but allow everything else, is this possible to do with the ASM?

 

 

For examples:

 

 

Deny /me/private/*

 

Deny /company/private/*

 

Permit *

 

 

I this possible with ASM (currently running version 9.4.5) or do I need to do some work arround with iRules?

 

 

Can somebody help me out?

 

 

Kind regards,

 

 

Anthony

    Hi Anthony,

     

     

    Sure this is possible. Assuming you are on 9.4.2 or higher, you can define a no_ext object type, a wildcard object and then use attack signatures to dictate that the URI cannot match /me/private/* or /company/private/*

     

     

    You can check the ASM Config Guide for your version for details on these steps.

    You can also use the http class mechanism to redirect requests to these URL's back to the homepage (make sure they are evaluated first)

     

     

    Thanks,
