access-limit-in-HTTP-session <limit_int>

action {alert | alert_deny | block-period | deny_no_log}

Select one of the following actions that the FortiWeb appliance will perform when the count exceeds the limit:

• alert—Accept the request and generate an alert email and/or log message.

• alert_deny—Block the request (or reset the connection) and generate an alert email and/or log message.

  You can customize the web page that FortiWeb returns to the client with the HTTP status code. For details, see system replacemsg.

• block-period—Block subsequent requests from the client for a number of seconds. Also configure block-period <seconds_int>.

  Note: If FortiWeb is deployed behind a NAT load balancer, when using this option, you must also define an X-header that indicates the original client’s IP (see waf x-forwarded-for). Failure to do so may cause FortiWeb to block all connections when it detects a violation of this type.

• deny_no_log—Deny a request. Do not generate a log message.

Caution: This setting will be ignored if monitor-mode {enable | disable} is enabled.

Note: Logging and/or alert email will occur only if enabled and configured. For details, see log disk and log alertMail.

Note: If you select an auto-learning profile with this rule, you should select alert. If the action is alert_deny, for example, the FortiWeb appliance will block the request or reset the connection when it detects an attack, resulting in incomplete session information for the auto-learning feature. For details about auto-learning requirements, see waf web-protection-profile autolearning-profile.

bot-recognition {captcha-enforcement | recaptcha-enforcement | real-browser-enforcement | disable}

Enable to return a JavaScript to the client to test whether it is a web browser or automated tool when it exceeds the rate limit.

If the client either fails the test or does not return results before the timeout specified by validation-timeout <seconds_int>, FortiWeb applies the specified action. If the client appears to be a web browser, FortiWeb allows the client to exceed the rate limit.

Disable this option to apply the rate limit regardless of whether the client is a web browser (for example, Firefox) or an automated tool (for example, wget).

recaptcha <recaptcha_server_name>

Enter the reCAPTCHA server you have created through user recaptcha-user

max-attempt-times <attempts_int>

If captcha-enforcement is selected for bot-recognition {captcha-enforcement | recaptcha-enforcement | real-browser-enforcement | disable}, enter the maximum number of attempts that a client may attempt to fulfill a CAPTCHA request. The valid range is 1–5.

Available only when captcha-enforcement is selected for bot-recognition.

validation-timeout <seconds_int>

block-period <seconds_int>

If action is block-period, type the number of seconds that the connection will be blocked.

This setting applies only if action is block-period. The valid is from 1 to 10,000 seconds.

severity {High | Medium | Low | Info}
