## Synopsis

- Manages Application settings for ASM/AFM DOS profile.

## Parameters

Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments
--- | --- | ---
geolocations dictionary |  | Manages the geolocations countries whitelist, blacklist.
| blacklist list |  | A list of countries to be put on blacklist, must not have overlapping elements with `whitelist`.
| whitelist list |  | A list of countries to be put on whitelist, must not have overlapping elements with `blacklist`.
heavy_urls dictionary |  | Manages Heavy URL protection. Heavy URLs are a small number of site URLs that might consume considerable server resources per request.
| auto_detect boolean | Choices: no yes | Enables or disables automatic heavy URL detection.
| exclude list |  | Specifies a list of URLs or wildcards to exclude from the heavy URLs.
| include list |  | Configures additional URLs to include in the heavy URLs that were auto detected.
|  | threshold string |  | Specifies the threshold of requests per second, where the URL in question is considered under attack. The accepted range is between 1 and 4294967295 inclusive, or `auto`.
|  | url string |  | Specifies the URL to be added to the list of heavy URLs, in addition to the automatically detected ones.
| latency_threshold integer |  | Specifies the latency threshold for automatic heavy URL detection. The accepted range is between 0 and 4294967295 milliseconds inclusive.
mobile_detection dictionary |  | Configures detection of mobile applications built with the Anti-Bot Mobile SDK and defines how requests from these mobile application clients are handled.
| allow_android_rooted_device boolean | Choices: no yes | When `yes` device will allow traffic from rooted Android devices.
| allow_any_android_package boolean | Choices: no yes | When `yes` allows any application publisher. A publisher is identified by the certificate used to sign the application.
| allow_any_ios_package boolean | Choices: no yes | When `yes` allows any iOS package. A package name is the unique identifier of the mobile application.
| allow_emulators boolean | Choices: no yes | When `yes` allows traffic from applications run on emulators.
| allow_jailbroken_devices boolean | Choices: no yes | When `yes` allows traffic from jailbroken iOS devices.
| android_publishers list |  | This option has no effect when `allow_any_android_package` is set to `yes`. Specifies the allowed publisher certificates for android applications. The publisher certificate needs to be installed on the BIG-IP beforehand. The certificate name located on a different partition than the one specified in `partition` parameter needs to be provided in `full_path` format `/Foo/cert.crt`.
| client_side_challenge_mode string | Choices: pass cshui | Action to take when a CAPTCHA or Client Side Integrity challenge needs to be presented. The mobile application user will not see a CAPTCHA challenge and the mobile application will not be presented with the Client Side Integrity challenge. The such options for mobile applications are `pass` or `cshui`. When `pass` the traffic is passed without incident. When `cshui` the SDK checks for human interactions with the screen in the last few seconds. If none are detected, the traffic is blocked.
| enabled boolean | Choices: no yes | When `yes`, requests from mobile applications built with Anti-Bot Mobile SDK will be detected and handled according to the parameters set. When `no`, these requests will be handled like any other request which may let attacks in, or cause false positives.
| ios_allowed_package_names list |  | Specifies the names of iOS packages to allow traffic on. This option has no effect when `allow_any_ios_package` is set to `yes`.
partition string | Default: "Common" | Device partition to manage resources on.
profile string / required |  | Specifies the name of the profile to manage application settings in.
provider dictionary added in 2.5 |  | A dict object containing connection details.
| auth_provider string |  | Configures the auth provider for to obtain authentication tokens from the remote device. This option is really used when working with BIG-IQ devices.
| password string / required |  | The password for the user account used to connect to the BIG-IP. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable `F5_PASSWORD`. aliases: pass, pwd
| server string / required |  | The BIG-IP host. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable `F5_SERVER`.
| server_port integer | Default: 443 | The BIG-IP server port. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable `F5_SERVER_PORT`.
| ssh_keyfile path |  | Specifies the SSH keyfile to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This argument is only used for cli transports. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE`.
| timeout integer |  | Specifies the timeout in seconds for communicating with the network device for either connecting or sending commands. If the timeout is exceeded before the operation is completed, the module will error.
| transport string | Choices: cli rest ← | Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device.
| user string / required |  | The username to connect to the BIG-IP with. This user must have administrative privileges on the device. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable `F5_USER`.
| validate_certs boolean | Choices: no yes ← | If `no`, SSL certificates are not validated. Use this only on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable `F5_VALIDATE_CERTS`.
rtbh_duration integer |  | Specifies the duration of the RTBH BGP route advertisement, in seconds. The accepted range is between 0 and 4294967295 inclusive.
rtbh_enable boolean | Choices: no yes | Specifies whether to enable Remote Triggered Black Hole `RTBH` of attacking IPs by advertising BGP routes.
scrubbing_duration integer |  | Specifies the duration of the Traffic Scrubbing BGP route advertisement, in seconds. The accepted range is between 0 and 4294967295 inclusive.
scrubbing_enable boolean | Choices: no yes | Specifies whether to enable Traffic Scrubbing during attacks by advertising BGP routes.
single_page_application boolean | Choices: no yes | Specifies, when `yes`, that the system supports a Single Page Applications.
state string | Choices: present ← absent | When `state` is `present`, ensures that the Application object exists. When `state` is `absent`, ensures that the Application object is removed.
trigger_irule boolean | Choices: no yes | Specifies, when `yes`, that the system activates an Application DoS iRule event.

## Notes

Note

- Requires BIG-IP >= 13.1.0
- For more information on using Ansible to manage F5 Networks devices see https://www.ansible.com/integrations/networks/f5.
- Requires BIG-IP software version >= 12.
- The F5 modules only manipulate the running configuration of the F5 product. To ensure that BIG-IP specific configuration persists to disk, be sure to include at least one task that uses the bigip_config module to save the running configuration. Refer to the module’s documentation for the correct usage of the module to save your running configuration.
