Description of my issue:

My site is mostly used for support purposes and this includes posting of SQL commands. The problem here with WAF is that my users get the message that they are a spammer, hacker or otherwise bad person. The quick solution is to turn off SQL injection checking.

For the long term solution I was thinking that it might be nice to have an option where the admin can set which components not to check for certain security checks. Sure it is less secure but my users don't feel very welcome now :)

Just a thought, if you have some other ideas on this I would like to hear them.

P.s. Login button on the forum start page doesnt work for me. Using FF4.

Regards,

Roland

Hi Roland,

This option already exists. It's the Admin Tools, Web Application Firewall, WAF Exceptions. But there is a limitation: since the "System - Admin Tools" plugin is published before the SEF router by default, it won't work when you turn on SEF URLs. In order for this to work, you have to publish your router plugin before our plugin.

Hey Nicholas,

Thank you for the quick and useful answer. I was looking at the Security Exceptions Log and completely missed the WAF Exceptions.

Have a good weekend.
