Creating a WebGroup
| If the Distributed Cloud Firewall (DCF) feature is disabled, WebGroups are not available. |
To create a new WebGroup:
-
On the Security > Distributed Cloud Firewall > WebGroups tab, click +WebGroup.
-
Configure the following:
Field Description Name
Enter a name for the WebGroup.
Type
Domains or URLs
In the Domains/URLs field, enter the domains or URLs. You can enter either domains or URLs in one WebGroup; they cannot be mixed.
Domains/URLs
Enter the domains or URLs for the WebGroup.
-
Click Save.
If the domain name contains any incorrect wildcard formatting, the WebGroup is not created. You must correct the formatting and try again.
Domain and URL Examples
Domains
Use the following characters to create a domain name on the WebGroups:
-
Alphanumeric (a-z, A-Z, and 0-9)
-
Dots (.)
-
Dashes (-)
-
Underscores (_)
-
Asterisks (*)
Domain names can start with any of the supported characters.
|
Any TLS protocol is supported for domains, along with HTTP. |
Domain-based and URL-based WebGroups support full wildcard. The supported wildcard formats for the domain names include:
-
Leading wildcard.
For example, *.example.com matches app.example.com, test.example.com, and so on.
-
Subdomain wildcard
For example, app*.example.com matches app1.example.com, app2.example.com, and so on.
-
Host suffix wildcard
For example, ftp-*.example.com matches ftp-1.example.com, ftp-2.example.com, and so on.
-
Complex multi-wildcard
For example, patch*--.*.example.com matches patch1-a-26.s1.example.com, patch2-b-27.s2.example.com, and so on.
|
Malformed (consecutive wildcards) wildcard usage is unsupported. For example, **.example.com is not supported. |
