Deleting a security profile

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud (CLI) command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified when creating the CLI profile is used by default. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

1. View the description of the CLI command for deleting a security profile:

   yc smartwebsecurity security-profile delete --help
   

2. To view a list of current security profiles in the default folder, run this command:

   yc smartwebsecurity security-profile list
   

   Result:

   +----------------------+-------------------+---------------------+----------------+------------+-------------+
   |          ID          |       NAME        |       CREATED       | DEFAULT ACTION | CAPTCHA ID | RULES COUNT |
   +----------------------+-------------------+---------------------+----------------+------------+-------------+
   | fev3s055oq64******** | my-new-profile    | 2024-08-05 06:57:18 | DENY           |            |           1 |
   | fevlqk8vei9p******** | my-sample-profile | 2024-08-05 06:57:28 | DENY           |            |           2 |
   +----------------------+-------------------+---------------------+----------------+------------+-------------+
   

3. To delete a security profile, run this command, specifying the profile name or ID:

   yc smartwebsecurity security-profile delete <security_profile_name_or_ID>
   

4. To make sure the security profile is deleted, re-run this command:

   yc smartwebsecurity security-profile list
   

   Note

   Deleting a security profile may affect access to the virtual hosts it is connected to.

For more information about the yc smartwebsecurity security-profile delete command, see the CLI reference.

If you do not have Terraform yet, install it and configure its Yandex Cloud provider.

To delete a Yandex Smart Web Security security profile created with Terraform:

1. Open the Terraform configuration file and delete the fragment with the profile description.

   Example of security profile description in the Terraform configuration

   resource "yandex_sws_security_profile" "demo-profile-simple" {
     name                             = "<security_profile_name>"
     default_action                   = "DENY"
     captcha_id                       = "<captcha_ID>"
     advanced_rate_limiter_profile_id = "<ARL_profile_ID>"
   
     # Smart Protection rule
     security_rule {
       name     = "smart-protection"
       priority = 99999
   
       smart_protection {
         mode = "API"
       }
     }
   
     #Basic rule
     security_rule {
       name = "base-rule-geo"
       priority = 100000
       rule_condition {
         action = "ALLOW"
         condition {
           source_ip {
             geo_ip_match {
               locations = ["ru", "kz"]
             }
           }
         }
       }
     }
   
     # WAF profile rule
     security_rule {
       name     = "waf"
       priority = 88888
   
       waf {
         mode           = "API"
         waf_profile_id = "<WAF_profile_ID>"
       }
     }
   }
   

2. Apply the changes:

   1. In the terminal, change to the folder where you edited the configuration file.

   2. Make sure the configuration file is correct using the command:

      terraform validate
      

      If the configuration is correct, the following message is returned:

      Success! The configuration is valid.
      

   3. Run the command:

      terraform plan
      

      The terminal will display a list of resources with parameters. No changes are made at this step. If the configuration contains errors, Terraform will point them out.

   4. Apply the configuration changes:

      terraform apply
      

   5. Confirm the changes: type yes in the terminal and press Enter.

You can check the deletion of the resources using the management console or this CLI command:

yc smartwebsecurity security-profile list

Use the delete REST API method for the SecurityProfile resource or the SecurityProfileService/Delete gRPC API call.
