Protecting a Web Application
The chapter Getting Started describes in detail how to make a web application accessible via nevisProxy. Depending on the type of application, you use one of the following patterns:
- Web Application pattern
You can customize the CSRF protection and the ModSecurity rules directly in the Web Application pattern screen:
CSRF protection: Select "custom" from the drop-down menu in the Security: CSRF Protection field, then assign and configure the add-on pattern CSRF Protection Settings via the Additional Settings field.
ModSecurity rules: Select "custom" from the drop-down menu in the Security: Request Validation field, then assign and configure the add-on pattern Request Validation Settings via the Additional Settings field.
REST Service pattern
SOAP Service pattern
Note that you can add extra security features to all patterns in the GUI, by assigning add-on patterns via the Additional Settings field. You find this field on the bottom of the screen in which you configure the pattern.
