Function

This API is used to update a global protection whitelist (formerly false alarm masking) rule.

URI

PUT /v1/{project_id}/waf/policy/{policy_id}/ignore/{rule_id}

**Table 1** Path Parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
project_id	Yes	String	Project ID. To obtain it, go to Cloud management console and hover the cursor over your username. On the displayed window, choose My Credentials.Then, in the Projects area, view Project ID of the corresponding project.
policy_id	Yes	String	Policy ID. It can be obtained by calling the ListPolicy API.
rule_id	Yes	String	ID of a false alarm masking rule. You can obtain the rule ID from the id field in the response body of the ListIgnoreRule API, which is used for querying false alarm masking rules.

**Table 2** Query Parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
enterprise_project_id	No	String	You can obtain the ID by calling the ListEnterpriseProject API of EPS.

Request Parameters

**Table 3** Request header parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
X-Auth-Token	Yes	String	User token. It can be obtained by calling the IAM API (value of X-Subject-Token in the response header).
Content-Type	Yes	String	Content type. Default: application/json;charset=utf8

**Table 4** Request body parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
domain	Yes	Array of strings	Domain name or website to be protected. If the array length is 0, the rule takes effect for all domain names or websites.
conditions	Yes	Array of CreateCondition objects	Condition list
mode	Yes	Integer	The value is fixed at 1, indicating v2 false alarm masking rules. v1 is used only for compatibility with earlier versions, and false alarm rules cannot be created in v1.
rule	Yes	String	Items to be masked. You can provide multiple items and separate them with semicolons (;). To block a specific built-in rule, set the value of this parameter to the rule ID. To query the rule ID, go to the WAF console, choose Policies and click the target policy name. On the displayed page, in the Basic Web Protection area, select the Protection Rules tab, and view the ID of the specific rule. You can also query the rule ID in the event details. To mask a type of basic web protection rules, set this parameter to the name of the basic web protection rule type. xss: XSS attacks webshell: Web shells vuln: Other types of attacks sqli: SQL injection attack robot: Malicious crawlers rfi: Remote file inclusion lfi: Local file inclusion cmdi: Command injection attack To bypass the basic web protection, set this parameter to all. To bypass all WAF protection, set this parameter to bypass.
description	No	String	Description of a masking rule

**Table 5** CreateCondition
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
category	Yes	String	Field type. The value can be ip, url, params, cookie, or header.
contents	Yes	Array of strings	Content. The array length is limited to 1. The content format varies depending on the field type.

IF the field type is params, cookie, or header, the content format is not limited.
logic_operation	Yes	String	The matching logic varies depending on the field type. For example, if the field type is ip, the logic can be equal or not_equal. If the field type is url, params, cookie, or header, the logic can be equal, not_equal, contain, not_contain, prefix, not_prefix, suffix, not_suffix.
check_all_indexes_logic	No	Integer	This parameter is reserved and can be ignored.
index	No	String	If the field type is ip and the subfield is the client IP address, the index parameter is not required. If the subfield type is X-Forwarded-For, the value is x-forwarded-for. If the field type is params, header, or cookie, and the subfield is user-defined, the value of index is the user-defined subfield.
