    set risk_vs "px_backend_APP_ID_vip"
    set risk_timeout 2500
    set debug 0
    set ip_header ""
    set sensitive_headers [list "cookie"]

    set enable_module_header_name ""
    set bypass_monitor_header ""
    set enable_advanced_blocking_response 1
    set custom_cookie_header ""
    set enable_first_party 1
}

Update the following required properties:

  • app_id - The HUMAN application id in the format of PX__. The application id can be found in the Applications section on the HUMAN Portal.
  • cookie_secret_key - The key used by the cookie signing page. The Cookie Key is generated in the Policies section on the HUMAN Portal.
  • auth_token - The JWT token for REST API. The Authentication Token is generated in the Applications section on the HUMAN Portal.

📘

Make sure to replace APP_ID in risk_vs with the same application_id you set for app_id.

Block Score Configuration.

Configuring the block score is done in the HUMAN Portal.

BIGIP F5 Enforcer uses a binary cookie. The binary cookie does not store the score value on the cookie on the parsed jSON.

In order to set a blocking threshold for the binary cookie:

  1. Log into the HUMAN Portal.
  2. On Admin tab select POLICIES
  3. Select Risk Cookie drop-down menu
  4. Select "Advanced Mode" and press Continue
  5. Unselect v1/v3 if selected and select v2, the binary score should be un-greyed
  6. Set a value and apply changes.

📘

HUMAN recommendation is to set the blocking threshold to 100.
