Update Summary
Exceptions are generally available for Web Application Firewall on Azure Application Gateway and Azure Front Door, allowing selected requests to bypass inspection at the rule, rule group, or managed ruleset level.
Update Details
Security
- WAF exceptions can bypass inspection for specific requests based on request URI, remote IP address, or request header name and value; apply them narrowly to preserve protection for other traffic.
New Features
- Generally available WAF exceptions for Azure Application Gateway and Azure Front Door.
- Exceptions can be defined at the rule, rule group, or managed ruleset level.
Hints
- Configure exceptions in the Azure portal by opening the WAF policy, selecting Managed rules, and choosing Add an exception.
