Changing an Web App Firewall profile type

May 2, 2023

If you chose the wrong profile type for an Web App Firewall profile, or the type of content on the protected website has changed, you can change the profile type.

Note When you change the profile type, you lose all configuration settings and learned relaxations or rules for the features that the new profile type does not support. For example, if you change the profile type from Web 2.0 to XML, you lose any configuration options for Start URL, Form Field Consistency Check, and the other HTML-specific security checks. The configuration for any options that is supported by both the old and the new profile types remains unchanged.

To change an Web App Firewall profile type by using the command line interface

At the command prompt, type the following commands:

  • set appfw profile <name> -type ( **HTML** | **XML** | **HTML XML** )
  • save ns config

Example

The following example changes the type of a profile named pr-basic, from HTML to HTML XML, which is equivalent to the Web 2.0 type in the GUI.

set appfw profile pr-basic -type HTML XML
save ns config
