About the effects of Real Traffic Policy Builder to Staging

Hi All

 

My ASM's configuration as follow:

 

Security -- Application Security : Policy Building : Real Traffic Policy Builder? Settings is DISABLED

 

Security -- Application Security : Parameters : Parameters List -- Parameter Properties :Perform Staging is ENABLED

 

I think close "Real Traffic Policy Builder" then "Perform Staging" as invalid ,But why I needs to DISABLED Parameter's "Perform Staging" to be Block the Parameter's viloations?

 

Thanks

    "Staging" means that ASM will NOT BLOCK even if your policy is in BLOCKING mode. It is done so you could try out different modifications of policy and collect learning suggestions without taking the policy out of Blocking mode.

     

    If you are confident you want to start blocking on Parameter violations you should disable staging.

     

    Hope this helps,
