waf link-cloaking link-cloaking-rule
Use this command to prevent web pages in your application from being scanned by web crawlers and scanning software. Link cloaking transforms the fixed links to automatically generated links by JavaScript codes. For example, <a href="https://example/login"> will be transformed to href="https://jisc.waasonline.com/index/login", where the link tag <a> is cut off so that the crawlers can't recognize it. When the link is loaded in the client's browser, the lost code will be added back automatically.
To use this command, your administrator account’s access control profile must have either w or rw permission to the wafgrp area. For details, see Permissions.

^/*.php, matching the URLs to which the rule should apply. The pattern does not require a slash ( / ), but it must match URLs that begin with a slash, such as /index.cfm.
