Hello SanjayP! about hardware we are using 2 i2800 (Active - Passive), about the URL we're only using ASM protection on BIG-IP, don't using any other feature like load balancing or something like that. Currently using default ASM policy, without any iRule, i've tryied to input the path on allowe URL'S but without success.

If you are using ONLY "ASM" to disallow URL and you want to allow specific URL then

Navigate to Security -> URL's --> disallowed URL's and remove /wp-admin.

 

If in the allowed URL list (security -> URL -> Allowed URLs) if wildcard (*) is removed, then add the /wp-admin (for explicit) or /wp-admin* for the wildcard. 

 

if you are still receiving ASM blocks, please provid the log snippet for the reason of the ASM block and URL getting blocked.
