URL Hardening Questions

I have set up WAF in the following way:

1. virtual webserver:

Domains: domain.com
Real Web Servers: Lotus Domino Server
Firewall Profile: Advanced Protection (with URL hardening)

2. real webserver:

name: Lotus Domino Server
host: an internal host (external access via DNAT)

3. firewall profiles:

Advanced with URL hardening.


For testing purposes I have entered only "www.domain.com" in URL hardening.

I tried to open "domain.com/otherthings" directly and this still works. I thought URL hardening would disable the direct access to URLs not entered in the "Entry URL"-list

Do I missunderstand URL hardening or is it the DNAT which does not work with WAF?

  • Like Bob mentioned, do it with DNATS.

    Rule 1:
    source:  netblocks to allow
    service:  http(s)
    destination: external WAN (address)
    new destination:  external WAN (address) (same as above)

    Rule 2:
    source:  internet or any
    service:  http(s)
    destination:  external WAN (address)
    new destination:  non-existent blackhole address

    The first rule will accept the traffic and put it back on the external interface, so WAF can pick it up.  The second rule will take traffic from all other sources and send it to the packet dumpster.  [:)]
