The Pulse Secure Virtual Web Application Firewall REST Interface

The Pulse Secure Virtual Web Application Firewall (vWAF) component maintains a separate REST interface to facilitate control of vWAF-specific resources. You can reach this interface through the standard Traffic Manager REST service, using the following path:

https://<host>:<port>/api/af/<version>

<version> can be any specific currently published API version, or you can use the string "latest" to access the most current version. Full details of the available resources and actions that can be performed through the vWAF REST API can be found in the vWAF user documentation.

To access the vWAF REST interface, you must first install and activate the vWAF component on your Traffic Manager. You must also enable the Traffic Manager REST service through the Admin UI (for details, see Enabling and Disabling the API).

The Traffic Manager operates as a proxy to the vWAF REST service, and communicates with it through a designated port. To view and modify this port, click System > Application Firewall > Local Application Firewall Ports in the Admin UI. Any problems accessing the vWAF REST interface can often be resolved by setting this value to a known free port. Contact your support provider if you require any further information.
