    Hi Sushant,

     

    it will be generated in Transparent mode, but you have to enable "Verification and Device-ID Challenges in Transparent Mode".

Hi Daniel,

 

That is what I was wondering about . Thank you AlexBCT and Daniel.. One more thing is there any possible way of verifying device id that is being allocated to the client ? any kind of log or anything ?

Did you, in the logging profile under section Bot Defense, enable Log Device ID Collection Request?

I am using the default Log all requests profile and a custom Bot Defense logging profile with all checkboxes ticked.

 

With this config I can see it in Security ›› Event Logs : Bot Defense : Bot Requests when showing All Details (not in Basic view) and also in Security ›› Event Logs : Application : Requests.
