Hi, I am newbie in F5. Can someone explain me when to use policy to disallowed some url ? What kind of url that has to be disallowed ? I think all url of my website may be accessed by everyone.

 

Thanks

    A disallowed URL is one which you do not want any external clients to access. If you would like to permit all clients to access all your URLs, then you do not need to disallow any of them.

    F5 Newbie,

     

    To add to Erik's answer. A simple reason to use this is if you don't want to expose any administrative areas of your website.
