dictionary

Manages the geolocations countries whitelist, blacklist.

blacklist

list / elements=string

A list of countries to be put on the blacklist, must not have overlapping elements with whitelist.

whitelist

list / elements=string

A list of countries to be put on the whitelist, must not have overlapping elements with blacklist.

heavy_urls

dictionary

auto_detect

boolean

  • no
  • yes

Enables or disables automatic heavy URL detection.

exclude

list / elements=string

Specifies a list of URLs or wildcards to exclude from the heavy URLs.

include

list / elements=dictionary

Configures additional URLs to include in the heavy URLs that were auto-detected.

threshold

Specifies the threshold of requests per second, where the URL in question is considered under attack.

The acceptable range is between 1 and 4294967295 inclusive, or auto.

url

string / required

Specifies the URL to be added to the list of heavy URLs, in addition to those automatically detected.

latency_threshold

integer

Specifies the latency threshold for automatic heavy URL detection.

The acceptable range is between 0 and 4294967295 miliseconds inclusive.

mobile_detection

dictionary

Configures detection of mobile applications built with the Anti-Bot Mobile SDK and defines how requests from these mobile application clients are handled.

allow_android_rooted_device

boolean

  • no
  • yes

When yes the device will allow traffic from rooted Android devices.

allow_any_android_package

boolean

  • no
  • yes

When yes allows any application publisher.

A publisher is identified by the certificate used to sign the application.

A package name is the unique identifier of the mobile application.

allow_emulators

boolean

  • no
  • yes

allow_jailbroken_devices

boolean

  • no
  • yes

When yes allows traffic from jailbroken iOS devices.

android_publishers

list / elements=string

This option has no effect when allow_any_android_package is set to yes.

Specifies the allowed publisher certificates for android applications.

The publisher certificate needs to be installed on the BIG-IP beforehand.

client_side_challenge_mode

string

  • pass
  • cshui

Action to take when a CAPTCHA or Client Side Integrity challenge needs to be presented.

The mobile application user will not see a CAPTCHA challenge and the mobile application will not be presented with the Client Side Integrity challenge. The such options for mobile applications are pass or cshui.

When pass the traffic is passed without incident.

When cshui the SDK checks for human interactions with the screen in the last few seconds. If none are detected, the traffic is blocked.

enabled

boolean

  • no
  • yes

When yes, requests from mobile applications built with Anti-Bot Mobile SDK will be detected and handled according to the parameters set.

When no, these requests will be handled like any other request which may let attacks in, or cause false positives.

Notes

Note

  • Requires BIG-IP >= 13.1.0
  • For more information on using Ansible to manage F5 Networks devices see https://www.ansible.com/integrations/networks/f5.
  • Requires BIG-IP software version >= 12.
  • The F5 modules only manipulate the running configuration of the F5 product. To ensure that BIG-IP specific configuration persists to disk, be sure to include at least one task that uses the f5networks.f5_modules.bigip_config module to save the running configuration. Refer to the module’s documentation for the correct usage of the module to save your running configuration.
