Config NGINX to F5

[Satriaji]

Hi everyone,

I have VS.

 

NGINX require script to implement at F5 profile but i dont know where I must config at F5 configuration.

Here the NGINX requirement :

client_max_body_size 5000M;

client_body_buffer_size 5000M;

client_body_timeout 4024;

client_header_timeout 3024;

Where I must config that NGINX requirement to the VS in F5 ??? Using profile or irules ?? How to set up ? 

Thanks

Hi @Satriaji - I think  that your post might not have gotten an answer because of the holiday lull in traffic. I've asked one of my teammates to take a look and see if they can help you out, and will also feature this in this week's Highlights article to get more eyes on it.

Hi @Satriaji , there are no equivalent settings within Local Traffic Manager but rather they can be found in Application Security Manager or AWAF.

client_max_body_size  (awaf setting – file uploads max size)

client_body_buffer_size (awaf setting – advanced config -> System Variables -> request_buffer_size)

client_body_timeout and client_header_timeout (awaf setting - advanced config -> System Variables -> slow_transaction_timeout) Note: we can do idle timeouts with Fasthttp profiles but not standard http profiles.

These are our default profile timeouts. https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K7606  The standard http profile will make it so a (tcp) connection to the backend will not occur until it has a fully rfc compliant http request from the client so it does offer some native protection from slow http type attacks.

Good article on mitigating slow post if that’s a primary concern here. https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K42552578
