Case insensitivity in ASM Brute Force username and/or password elements
Hi guys, I'm facing the same issue as you do. Did you get any response from support? This is really unexpected behaviour, when the whole policy is case insensitive.
Thanks.
I never got a response on this question. What I ended up doing was working with our application teams to ensure that our client code would always send the usernames/passwords with a given case, and then I implemented a Brute Force policy for that known-good scenario, and wrote an iRule to deny any requests that do not conform to this casing, knowing that they would all be illegitimate. I'm sure there are other ways of solving this, but I'm still not sure about the "best approach". Another way I considered was having a dedicated ASM policy just for Brute Force where the whole policy defined as case insensitive, and using a Local Traffic Policy that looked for our application's login URIs and using this dedicated policy in that scenario. I hope these ideas help.
