Redirecting the client's browser to a URL

Redirect the client’s browser to a URL if you suspect that the client has come under a fraud attack and you want to redirect the client to a site where some type of protective measure can be taken.

Note: This action should not be performed on a login page.

  1. On the Main tab, click Security > Fraud Protection Service > Anti-Fraud Profiles.

    The Anti-Fraud Profiles screen opens.

  2. From the list of profiles, select the relevant profile.

    The Anti-Fraud Profile Properties screen opens.

  3. In the Anti-Fraud Configuration area, click Rules.

    A list of alert types appears.

  4. In the list of alert types, click the alert type for which you want to define a system response.

    The alert type appears in the Rules area.

  5. In the Rules area, select the Enabled check box next to the alert type.

  6. If the alert type you selected is generated on the client-side by JavaScript, in the Minimum score to perform action field type a score between 0-100.

    Note: The Minimum score to perform action field only appears for alert types that are generated on the client-side by JavaScript.

  7. From the Action list, select Redirect to URL.

  8. In the URL field, type the URL to where you want the user to be redirected.

  9. Click Save.

    The rule is now active.

The next time the BIG-IP system sends an alert of the type selected at step 4 and the client’s browser makes an HTTP request to a protected page in this profile, the client’s browser will be redirected to the URL that you specified. This action is performed only once.
