Synopsis

• Manages Application settings for an ASM/AFM DOS profile.

Parameters

Parameter	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	Enables or disables automatic heavy URL detection. Choices: no yes
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	When yes the device will allow traffic from rooted Android devices. Choices: no yes
allow_any_android_package boolean	When yes allows any application publisher. A publisher is identified by the certificate used to sign the application. Choices: no yes
allow_any_ios_package boolean	When yes allows any iOS package. A package name is the unique identifier of the mobile application. Choices: no yes
allow_emulators boolean	When yes allows traffic from applications run on emulators. Choices: no yes
allow_jailbroken_devices boolean	When yes allows traffic from jailbroken iOS devices. Choices: no yes
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	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. Choices: pass cshui
enabled boolean	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. Choices: no yes
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	Device partition to manage resources on. Default: “Common”
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	If yes, TEEM telemetry data is not sent to F5. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_TELEMETRY_OFF. Previously used variable F5_TEEM is deprecated as its name was confusing. Choices: no ← (default) yes
password aliases: pass, pwd 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.
server string / required	The BIG-IP host. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER.
server_port integer	The BIG-IP server port. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER_PORT. Default: 443
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	Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device. Choices: rest ← (default)
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	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. Choices: no yes ← (default)
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	Specifies whether to enable Remote Triggered Black Hole RTBH of attacking IPs by advertising BGP routes. Choices: no yes
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	Specifies whether to enable Traffic Scrubbing during attacks by advertising BGP routes. Choices: no yes
single_page_application boolean	Specifies, when yes, that the system supports a Single Page Applications. Choices: no yes
state string	When state is present, ensures that the Application object exists. When state is absent, ensures that the Application object is removed. Choices: present ← (default) absent
trigger_irule boolean	Specifies, when yes, that the system activates an Application DoS iRule event. Choices: no yes

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.
