The Application ID is used to bind this Advanced Bot Protection policy to the FortiGuard ABP Application.

To obtain the ID, go to Application page of FortiGuard ABP, click the Settings icon in the Action column, then click Copy Application ID.

Select which action FortiWeb will take when FortiGuard ABP suggests a request is from a bot:

• alert—Accept the connection and generate an alert email and/or log message.
• alert_deny—Block the request (or reset the connection) and generate an alert and/or log message.
• deny_no_log—Block the request (or reset the connection).
• block-period—Block subsequent requests from the client for a number of seconds.
• block-period-client—Block a malicious or suspicious client based on the FortiWeb generated client ID. This is useful when the source IP of a certain client keeps changing. This option takes effect only when you enable Client Management in the Server Policy.

block-period <content-scraping-block-period_int>

Enter the number of seconds that you want to block subsequent requests from an IP or client ID after FortiWeb detects content scraping activities. The valid range is 1–3,600 seconds.
