Disabling HSS

Scenarios

If your business requirements change or you need to reassign quotas, you can disable host protection to release the quota. The released quota can then be allocated to new protection targets.

Before You Start

Disabling protection does not affect services, but will increase security risks. You are advised to keep your servers protected.

To unsubscribe from the pay-per-use quota of a server, you just need to disable the protection.

Disabling the Basic/Enterprise/Premium Edition

  1. Log in to the HSS console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region or project.
  3. In the navigation pane, choose Asset Management > Servers & Quota. Click the Servers tab.
  4. (Optional) If you have enabled the enterprise project function, select an enterprise project from the Enterprise Project drop-down list in the upper part of the page to view its data.
  5. Click Disable in the Operation column of a server.

    You can also select multiple servers, and click Disable above the server list to disable protection in batches.

  6. In the dialog box that is displayed, confirm the information and click OK.
  7. Check the protection status in the server list. If it is Unprotected, the protection has been disabled.

Disabling WTP

Disabling WTP stops protection and releases the protection quota (by unbinding the yearly/monthly quota or stopping the pay-per-use quota billing), but does not delete the configured WTP settings, such as protected directories and privileged processes.

  1. Log in to the HSS console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region or project.
  3. In the navigation pane, choose Prevention > Web Tamper Protection.

  5. Click Disable in the Operation column of a server.

    • If you have enabled dynamic WTP before disabling protection, you need to manually enable it after enabling protection again.
