Evaluating policy differences
Web Application Security allows you to compare two Application Security
Manager (ASM) policies, and view differences between them. You can use the comparison for
auditing purposes, to make two policies act similarly, or to simply view the differences
between two security policies. This is particularly useful for comparing a security
policy in staging and a production version.
You can compare any imported or configured security policies
including:
- Active security policies (with or without Policy Builder)
- Child Policies
- Parent Policies
- Inactive security policies
- Policies not yet deployed to BIG-IP
User Requirements
To compare policies, you need to have a user role of Administrator
or Web Application Security built-in role, or a custom Web Application Security role
that allows access to Web Application Security resources.
