Sites

A site (also known as a workspace) is a single web application, bundle of web applications, API, or microservice that the Next-Gen WAF can protect from attacks. You could logically think of a site as a mapping to a particular application or domain (e.g., app1.example.com vs. app2.example.com). You could have multiple apps share the same site keys or split one app into different sites (e.g., example.com and example.com/admin).

Sites belong to a corp and consist of a set of requests and configurations. Requests come from agents configured with the site’s access and secret keys. Configurations include agent rules (e.g., tagging requests as XSS, blocklist and allowlist rules, blocking rules), the list of members, integrations, and other configuration options.

Accessing the Sites page

From the Sites page, you can add, remove, and edit sites in your corp. To access the Sites page, follow these steps:

1. Log in to the Signal Sciences console.
2. From the corp navigation bar, click the Corp Manage menu and then select Sites. The Sites page appears.

Adding sites

To add a site, follow these steps:

1. From the Sites page, click the Add site button. The add site menu page appears.
2. Enter a display name for the new site in the Display name text box. The display name determines how the site is listed on the Site Overview page and the site select selector menu.
3. Enter a short name for the new site in the Short name text box. The short name is used in URLs and the API (e.g., https://dashboard.signalsciences.net/corps/SHORT-NAME/).

Note: By default, your corp has a limited number of sites. If you need more, contact support for assistance.

Editing sites

To edit a site, follow these steps:

   • In the Response code field, enter a site default blocking response code. All blocking actions will return the site default blocking response code unless a different response code is specified in a rule. Supported response codes are 301, 302, and 400-599.
   • If you entered 301 or 302 in the Response code (optional) field then, in the Redirect URL (optional) field, enter the absolute or relative URL of the redirect location. See Using redirect custom response codes.

7. Click the Users tab. The list of users assigned to the site appears.
