Import PKCS 12 SSL to Device Certificate via API/Script or CLI on BIG-IP
We have more than 160 BIG-IP Virtual Edition with version 15.1.10.3 build 0.0.12. We need to import, in each one, an SSL Certificate in PFX/PKCS 12 format in the path System ›› Certificate Management: Device Certificate Management: Device Certificate.

F5 API Security on AWS WAF
Hello community, We have deployed multiple APIs on EKS and have exposed them using an application load balancer. I have added AWS WAF on top of the ALB. I am using XML payload in the API and for XML security, I have enabled F5 API Security managed rule for WAF. My question is: Does F5 managed rule for API Security on AWS WAF provides XML validation? If yes, what rule is that inside the managed rule set? Can we configure the F5 managed rule to check my XML payload based on regex? How can I configure it? Thanks in advance! Avinash
Nginx is only redirecting to port 8080
I have a .net 8 solution multiple APIs and I'm using docker and Nginx to host the application. please find below the full details: Dockerfile FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:8.0 AS base WORKDIR /app EXPOSE 8080 FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:8.0 AS build ARG BUILD_CONFIGURATION=Release ... FROM build AS publish ARG BUILD_CONFIGURATION=Release RUN dotnet publish "xxx.Api/xxx.Api.csproj" -c Release -o /app/publish /p:UseAppHost=false FROM base AS final WORKDIR /app COPY --from=publish /app/publish .

If I switch the port on those same projects than API2 loads normally and API1 stops loading. I've been trying all kinds of stuff over last 2 days and nothing seems to work. Those same projects with the same configuration were working perfectly when I was using .net 6 with the same nginx version, but when I upgraded the project to .net 8 it broke. I need your help and suggestions. Anything will be helpfull.
