Adding a Domain Name/IP Address to WAF (ELB Access)

Constraints

  • If a domain name uses different ports, each combination of the domain name plus a port is a unique protected object.

    For example, www.example.com:8080 and www.example.com:8081 are two different protection objects and are both counted toward object quota. If you want to protect web services over multiple ports with the same domain name, add the domain name and each port to WAF.

  • You can enter a multi-level single domain name (for example, top-level domain name example.com or second-level domain name www.example.com) or a wildcard domain name (*.example.com).
