NSFOCUS WAF secures data transmission by restricting domain names, URLs, and request methods, and it can improve transmission security by converting ordinary HTTP requests into HTTPS requests forcibly.

Configuration precondition:

Configure HTTP and HTTPS sites and ensure that both HTTP and HTTPS sites can be accessed.

Configuration method:

Step 1: Click Security Management > Website Protection > Website Group > Secure Data Transfer, and click the Create button in the upper right corner of the table.

Step 2: Edit the policy

  • Policy Name: User-defined
  • Domain Name: Be consistent with the virtual website domain name
  • Alert or Not: Choose Yes or No
  • Included URL: Fill in it according to the business scenario or * means all URL
  • Excluded URL: Fill in it according to the business scenario
  • Method: Fill in it according to the business scenario
  • Action: Block, Accept or Redirection

Tips:

  • If you choose to redirection, the optional redirection paths include Custom, Current URL HTTPS, and Previous page.
  • The Current URL HTTPS Port needs to be the same as the HTTPS port of the currently protected site.
