OPTIONS
api-access-strict-mitigation
Determines, when enabled, whether to apply the strict mitigation settings on API access requests in this
template.
deviceid-mode
Specifies how the Device ID will be collected in this template.
The options are:
generate-after-access
Device ID is collected by injecting a JavaScript in the response. This is less intrusive and has
less of a latency impact. Use when sensitive to response time or time-to-first-byte. Note that some
requests at the beginning of the session will have no Device ID until the handshake is complete and
the Device ID is generated.
generate-before-access
Device ID is collected by generating a JavaScript challenge before forwarding the HTTP request to
the application. This guarantees that every request that reaches the application has a Device ID.
This has more of a latency impact that Generate After Access. Bots that present as browsers and are
unable to execute JavaScript will be blocked.
none
dos-attack-strict-mitigation
Determines, when enabled, whether to apply strict mitigation settings during DoS attacks in this
template.
