Viewing Basic Information

This topic describes how to view the basic information about a protected website, switch WAF working mode, and delete a domain name of a protected website from WAF.

Prerequisites

A website has been connected to WAF.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner of the management console and select a region or project.
  3. Click in the upper left corner and choose Web Application Firewall under Security & Compliance.
  4. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Website Settings.
  5. View the protected website lists. For details about parameters, see Table 1.

    Table 1 Parameters

    Parameter

    Parameter

    Domain Name

    Protected domain name or IP address.

    Protection

    WAF instance protection configured for your website. The options are Cloud and Dedicated.

    Server IP/Port

    Public IP address of the website server accessed by the client and the service port used by WAF to forward client requests to the server.

    Certificate

    Certificate associated with the domain name. You can click the certificate name to go to the Certificates page.

    Last 3 Days

    Protection status of the domain name over the past three days.

    Mode

    WAF mode of the protected domain name. You can click to select one of the following protection modes:

    • Enabled: WAF is enabled.
    • Suspended: WAF is disabled. If a large number of normal requests are blocked, for example, status code 418 is frequently returned, then you can switch the mode to Suspended. In this mode, your website is not protected because WAF only forwards requests. It does not scan for attacks. This mode is risky. You are advised to use the global protection whitelist rules to reduce false alarms.
    • Bypassed: In this mode, requests are directly sent to the backend servers without passing through WAF.
      NOTE:

      The working mode can be switched to Bypassed only if the website is protected in Cloud mode and the following conditions are met:

      • Website services need to be restored to the status when the domain is not connected to WAF.
      • You need to investigate website errors, such as 502, 504, or other incompatibility issues.
      • No proxy is configured between the client and WAF.

      For details, see Switching WAF Working Mode.

    Policy

    Number of types of WAF protection enabled for the domain name. You can click the number to go to the rule configuration page and configure specific protection rules. For details, see Policies.

    Access Progress

    The progress of connecting your website to WAF or the website access status.

    • Inaccessible: The website has not been connected to WAF yet or failed to connect to WAF.
    • Accessible: The website has been connected to WAF.

    Created

    Time the website was added to WAF.

  6. In the Domain Name column, click the domain name of the website to go to the basic information page.
  7. View the basic information about the domain name of the protected website.
