Creating a SolidWall WAF application and connecting a domain to it
A SolidWall WAF application groups domains, i.e., the addresses where your website or service is available. Add the application to a profile and connect domains to it so the WAF can inspect its incoming requests.
Before connecting, add the domain to the proxy server and attach a security profile with a Smart Protection rule to the domain. If the resources have not yet been created, prepare them according to the general setup procedure.
Create an app
Your service plan covers the first application. Other active applications are charged separately.
To create an application:
- Make sure your account has the smart-web-security.editor role for the folder housing your SolidWall WAF resources.
- In the management console, select the folder with the SolidWall WAF profile.
- Navigate to Smart Web Security.
- In the left-hand panel, select WAF profiles and open the SolidWall WAF profile.
- Click Add application.
- Enter a name for the application.
- Optionally, provide a description.
- Click Create application.
A new application runs in monitoring mode and does not block requests. On the application page, you can see a support ticket with the application parameters, created automatically on your behalf. Use it to configure protection and coordinate switching to active protection mode. Learn more about setting up your application.
Connect a domain
To connect a domain to an application:
-
On the application page, click Connect domain.
-
In the Domain field, select the domain you want protected. If the domain is not in the list, first add it to your Smart Web Security.
-
In the Security profile field, select a security profile with a Smart Protection rule.
If there is no suitable profile, click Create, create a profile in a new tab, then return to connecting the domain and refresh the profile list.
-
Optionally, to connect another domain to this application, click Add domain and re-select the domain and security profile.
-
Click Connect.
-
Make sure the domains appear in the list on the application page.
After connecting the domains, verify traffic processing as per the tutorial.
