SSL Selector

Purpose

The SSL Selector ensures that vWAF only considers a ruleset for a path when a request is made via an SSL connection, or only when it’s made via a non-SSL connection.

For more information regarding adding and editing Preconditions, see Editing Preconditions.

Recommendations for use

Use the SSL Selector to handle SSL and non-SSL connections differently. For example, you can use this for adding a path with handlers that add extra security specifically for non-SSL connections.

Attributes

Attribute	Meaning
ssl	Select the option require ssl if you want vWAF to observe the rules stored for the path only in case of an SSL connection (assuming any other additional preconditions specified are also met). This must be exactly the request line. You can not use regular expressions here. Select the option forbid ssl if you want vWAF to observe the rules stored for the path only in case of an non-SSL connection (assuming any other additional preconditions specified are also met).
