Create IPDS WAF File
The files for internal use in the WAF module are created in this section. Those files are used in the WAF analysis request/response flow. Once the files are created, they can be linked with the WAF’s given Rule in the IPDS >> WAF >> Ruleset section using the file in the WAF module. The file content will be checked to confirm if the content format is correct.
The used parameters have been described below:

Type. The file type, it can be:
- LUA script. This option allows setting your own allowed ciphers.
