DOS profile blocks postman query and nothing shows in logs
Hi DEVs!
I am running 13.1.0.7.
When using postman to test a ldap auth, I get an error "required javascript" along with a support ID.
This only happens when enabling the dos protection profile - general and if I disable dos protection then the request works fine.
When I run the support id through the application - requests in asm I get no matches.
I have also tried with a new logging profile as below with local logging and enabled dos and asm logging there.
When I look for any events in security - dos - application even, everything is blank there.
Am I hitting some bug behavior here?
Also do the support IDs in ASM have any categories? For eg do IDs starting with 8 belong to DOS protection engine and not to ASM engine??
Thanks.

The dos profile is inserting a javascript challenge into the response - if the client does not support javascript (like Postman), you see the HTML text containing that message.
Although this may just be an issue with the Postman response preview ...
Disable any features in the DoS profile that rely on Javascript
- Proactive Bot Defense
- Client Side Integrity Defense

I should have added above.
- Why is there no log for the support id being generated
- And also the dos events logs tab is completely blank.

Do you have Bot Defense set up in the logging profile associated with the virtual.
And you need to turn on Log Challenged Requests
Have you enabled Dos Protection in the logging profile?

Yeah logging for dos bot defense was disabled, I enabled it and disabled the bot defense altogether.
Thanks!
