Onboarding API to web protection policy
Dear F5ers, I hope you all doing well. Please accept my apology for my question if it does look stupid since Iam new to the F5 area. Kindly note that i took the administration role on F5 appliance which was managed by a partner for a long time and the below is my questions. There is a Security Policy which is used for protecting a web app which will be destination for the mobile application such as below. Mobile App--->F5 Virtual Server which has an ASM policy on it (Policy Template is comprehensive). please note that the policy status as below now, also please note that we have two virtual servers with two different policy one for testbed environment and the other one for production environment. Enforcement Mode: Blocking Policy Building Learning Mode: Automatic Auto-Apply Policy: Realtime And the product team try to onboard some new services which will use a new API with different scheme and i want to know what is the best practice to do in this situation since the product team will do testing all time. shall i remove the blocking mode in testbed environment and leave the policy learning on automatic or move it to manual? Shall i ask them to provide the json scheme ? what shall i do after that after creating the json profile? will the json scheme will be learned automatically or no its something that need to be add manually? in which situation the f5 administrator need to add the new json profile with new json scheme ? shall i need to ask for swagger files or i don't need to do so ?also where to apply it? does the comprehensive security template work as the api protection also ?if no how we can achieve this? is it possible to have 2 separate ASM policy attached to one virtual server? I need your kind assistance to provide detailed answer as per your expertise so i can know what are the best excises to do that. Thanks for your support. Regards,
F5 ASM API-Protection Policy
Hello F5 Community, Apology if my question looks stupid since iam new to F5. Recently our application starting a project which is communication between our clients and our application through API and for me as f5 administrator its my rule to protect this API communication and as i looked up in the Application Security API template there is a section which ask for the swagger file and when i asked our application team their respond was (we have 3 API endpoints so we have 3 swagger files and not one) and right now iam looking forward to check whats the best design and to how handle this request or whats the best scenario to create and deploy this policy. Is it one of below: -Asking application team to merge these swagger files and provide it to me ?which they initially respond that they can not do that and this is risky. -Creating 3 Application policy and attach it to the same virtual server (if possible)? WE are using on-primes BIG-IP. Please let me know of your thoughts and let me if you prefer additional solution over this. Thanks. Regards,
