Can I Configure Session Cookies in WAF?
No. WAF does not support session cookies.
WAF allows you to configure CC attack protection rules to limit the access frequency of a specific path (URL) in a single cookie field, accurately identify CC attacks, and effectively mitigate CC attacks. For example, if a user whose cookie ID is name accesses the /admin* page under the protected domain name for more than 10 times within 60 seconds, you can configure a CC attack protection rule to forbid the user from accessing the domain name for 600 seconds.
For details, see Configuring a CC Attack Protection Rule.
