Synopsis ¶

Manages Application settings for an ASM/AFM DOS profile.

Parameters ¶

Parameter			Choices/Defaults	Comments
geolocations dictionary				Manages the geolocations countries whitelist, blacklist.
	blacklist list / elements=string			A list of countries to be put on the blacklist, must not have overlapping elements with `whitelist`.
	whitelist list / elements=string			A list of countries to be put on the whitelist, must not have overlapping elements with `blacklist`.
heavy_urls dictionary				Manages Heavy URL protection. Heavy URLs are a small number of site URLs that might consume considerable server resources per request.
	auto_detect boolean		Choices: no yes	Enables or disables automatic heavy URL detection.
	exclude list / elements=string			Specifies a list of URLs or wildcards to exclude from the heavy URLs.
	include list / elements=dictionary			Configures additional URLs to include in the heavy URLs that were auto-detected.
		threshold string		Specifies the threshold of requests per second, where the URL in question is considered under attack. The acceptable range is between 1 and 4294967295 inclusive, or `auto`.
		url string / required		Specifies the URL to be added to the list of heavy URLs, in addition to those automatically detected.
	latency_threshold integer			Specifies the latency threshold for automatic heavy URL detection. The acceptable range is between 0 and 4294967295 miliseconds inclusive.
mobile_detection dictionary				Configures detection of mobile applications built with the Anti-Bot Mobile SDK and defines how requests from these mobile application clients are handled.
	allow_android_rooted_device boolean		Choices: no yes	When `yes` the device will allow traffic from rooted Android devices.
	allow_any_android_package boolean		Choices: no yes	When `yes` allows any application publisher. A publisher is identified by the certificate used to sign the application.
	allow_any_ios_package boolean		Choices: no yes	When `yes` allows any iOS package. A package name is the unique identifier of the mobile application.
	allow_emulators boolean		Choices: no yes	When `yes` allows traffic from applications run on emulators.
	allow_jailbroken_devices boolean		Choices: no yes	When `yes` allows traffic from jailbroken iOS devices.
	android_publishers list / elements=string			This option has no effect when `allow_any_android_package` is set to `yes`. Specifies the allowed publisher certificates for android applications. The publisher certificate needs to be installed on the BIG-IP beforehand. The certificate name located on a different partition than the one specified in the `partition` parameter needs to be provided in `full_path` format, e.g. `/Foo/cert.crt`.
	client_side_challenge_mode string		Choices: pass cshui	Action to take when a CAPTCHA or Client Side Integrity challenge needs to be presented. The mobile application user will not see a CAPTCHA challenge and the mobile application will not be presented with the Client Side Integrity challenge. The such options for mobile applications are `pass` or `cshui`. When `pass` the traffic is passed without incident. When `cshui` the SDK checks for human interactions with the screen in the last few seconds. If none are detected, the traffic is blocked.
	enabled boolean		Choices: no yes	When `yes`, requests from mobile applications built with Anti-Bot Mobile SDK will be detected and handled according to the parameters set. When `no`, these requests will be handled like any other request which may let attacks in, or cause false positives.
	ios_allowed_package_names list / elements=string			Specifies the names of iOS packages to allow traffic on. This option has no effect when `allow_any_ios_package` is set to `yes`.
partition string			Default: "Common"	Device partition to manage resources on.
profile string / required				Specifies the name of the profile to manage application settings in.
provider dictionary added in 1.0.0 of f5networks.f5_modules				A dict object containing connection details.
	auth_provider string			Configures the auth provider for to obtain authentication tokens from the remote device. This option is really used when working with BIG-IQ devices.
	no_f5_teem boolean		Choices: no yes	If `yes`, TEEM telemetry data is not sent to F5. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable `F5_TEEM`.
	password string / required			The password for the user account used to connect to the BIG-IP. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable `F5_PASSWORD`. aliases: pass, pwd
	server string / required			The BIG-IP host. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable `F5_SERVER`.
	server_port integer		Default: 443	The BIG-IP server port. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable `F5_SERVER_PORT`.
	timeout integer			Specifies the timeout in seconds for communicating with the network device for either connecting or sending commands. If the timeout is exceeded before the operation is completed, the module will error.
	transport string		Choices: rest ←	Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device.
	user string / required			The username to connect to the BIG-IP with. This user must have administrative privileges on the device. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable `F5_USER`.
	validate_certs boolean		Choices: no yes ←	If `no`, SSL certificates are not validated. Use this only on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable `F5_VALIDATE_CERTS`.
rtbh_duration integer				Specifies the duration of the RTBH BGP route advertisement, in seconds. The acceptable range is between 0 and 4294967295 inclusive.
rtbh_enable boolean			Choices: no yes	Specifies whether to enable Remote Triggered Black Hole `RTBH` of attacking IPs by advertising BGP routes.
scrubbing_duration integer				Specifies the duration of the Traffic Scrubbing BGP route advertisement, in seconds. The acceptable range is between 0 and 4294967295 inclusive.
scrubbing_enable boolean			Choices: no yes	Specifies whether to enable Traffic Scrubbing during attacks by advertising BGP routes.
single_page_application boolean			Choices: no yes	Specifies, when `yes`, that the system supports a Single Page Applications.
state string			Choices: present ← absent	When `state` is `present`, ensures that the Application object exists. When `state` is `absent`, ensures that the Application object is removed.
trigger_irule boolean			Choices: no yes	Specifies, when `yes`, that the system activates an Application DoS iRule event.

Notes ¶

Note

Requires BIG-IP >= 13.1.0
For more information on using Ansible to manage F5 Networks devices see https://www.ansible.com/integrations/networks/f5.
Requires BIG-IP software version >= 12.
The F5 modules only manipulate the running configuration of the F5 product. To ensure that BIG-IP specific configuration persists to disk, be sure to include at least one task that uses the f5networks.f5_modules.bigip_config module to save the running configuration. Refer to the module’s documentation for the correct usage of the module to save your running configuration.
