Can I Add a Domain Name or IP Address to WAF Under Different Accounts?

If your domain name has been added to WAF in cloud mode, it cannot be added again. Therefore, a domain name cannot be added to WAF under different accounts.

However, in dedicated or cloud ELB access mode, you can add domain names or IP addresses to WAF under different accounts.

When adding a website to WAF, you can select Cloud - CNAME, Cloud - Load balancer, or Dedicated for Protection. Before you start, get familiar with the following differences:
  • Cloud - CNAME: protects your web applications that have domain name and are deployed on any clouds or in on-premises data centers.
  • Cloud - Load balancer: protects your web applications that are deployed on Huawei Cloud and accessible over domain names or IP addresses.
  • Dedicated: protects your web applications that are deployed on Huawei Cloud and accessible over domain names or IP addresses.

Each combination of a domain name/IP address and a port is counted towards the domain name quota of the WAF edition you are using. For example, www.example.com:8080 and www.example.com:8081 use two domain names of the quota. If you want to protect web services over multiple ports with the same domain name/IP address, add the domain name/IP address and each port to WAF.
