8.3 Setting up Basic Web Application Policies

each item are provided in Section 8.1.5 above. Application policy changes take effect on an FX Series ADC

8.3.1 How to Set the Policy Header
Figure 8-3 FX Series Application Policy Applicability
Set the case-insensitive name of the Web server for this policy.
The server name can be configured with a leading “*”.
This allows an administrator to configure all servers within a domain
Set the case-insensitive application name for this policy.
This can be a partial name. Additionally, the application name of the policy can be “*” or empty. This is
the default application policy for this server. If no other match is found then this policy will be used.
Set the authorization realm to define the users who will use this policy
If the default authorization realm is used, then the policy will apply to all users.
Setting up authorization realms will be described in the next section
Comment: This field is used to briefly describe the purpose of the policy.
Enable or disable acceleration for this policy
Acceleration can be turned off or on. When Enable Acceleration is “Yes”, the FX Series ADC will perform
the acceleration techniques that are enabled in this policy. When Enable Acceleration is “No”, no
acceleration techniques will be applied for applications specified by this policy. The default is enabled.
When complete click on “Add Application Policy”
Note: A “default policy” is a policy which allows access to all servers, all applications for all users.
It is created with a “*” in these fields: Target Web Server, Application Policy. In addition it uses the
default user authorization realm, which is set to all users. Acceleration can be enabled or disabled for this
policy. If disabled, then you would want to set other policies to allow users access to specific site(s).
