F5 LTM and ASM one virtual server and multiple security policy

Hello, I have a LTM and ASM box runnning 11.4.0 HF5 , and i shall protect four https web applications behind it. I understand that I can use one virtual server for the four applications using SNI. In this version the HTTP class has been decprecated and replaced by Local Traffic Policy.

 

My question, how can I create seperate security policies for each application/website knowing that the security policy when it is being created, it uses one virtual server (in my case one VS serving four application).?????

 

Kindly, i appreciate any soultions/ideas and if it is even possible.

 

Regards, George

    George,

     

    You can create a new Policy (local traffic - Policies) and in the Rules section create rules to distinguish traffic e.g. hostname in host header for each app/website and under Actions add the specific ASM security policy for each.

     

    Add this policy to the VS, under Resources.

     

    Hope this helps/makes sense,

  • my information: at this time, f5 recommend to avoid policies with 11.4.x, if possible. ID (441636)

      its no solution id, its an bug id. So, there is no information about that. You can only contact the f5 support to get informations about that.

      but is there an alternative in 11.4 to using policies for enabling ASM?

      I don't know such a way. Because of that, I can't run on 11.4 or 11.5.
