Editing Server Information

If you select Cloud or Dedicated when adding a website to WAF, you can edit the server information of your website.

Applicable scenarios:
  • Edit server information.
    • Cloud mode: You can modify configurations for Client Protocol, Server Protocol, Server Address, and Server Port.
    • Dedicated mode: You can modify configurations for Client Protocol, Server Protocol, Server Address, VPC, and Server Port.
  • Add server configurations.
  • Update a certificate by referring to Updating the Certificate Used for a Website.

If you have enabled enterprise projects, ensure that you have all operation permissions for the project where your WAF instance locates. Then, you can select the enterprise project from the Enterprise Project drop-down list and configure server information for the domain names.

Prerequisites

You have connected the website you want to protect to WAF.

Constraints

If PCI DSS/3DS compliance check is enabled, the client protocol cannot be changed, and no origin server addresses can be added.

Impact on the System

Modifying the server configuration does not affect services.
