# Configuring Axway XFF policies for decoy APIs

PingIntelligence provides an X-Forwarded-For (XFF) policy for your decoy APIs.

## About this task

The XFF policy adds an `X-Forwarded-For` to the backend only if it is not present in the original incoming request. If the `X-Forwarded-For` header is already present in the incoming request, the policy takes no action

## Steps

1. Launch Axway Policy Studio and click **New Project from an API Gateway instance**.

2. In the **New Project** pop-up window, enter the details and click **Next >**.

3. Enter **Host** details, **Username**, and **Password** of the API Gateway to connect, and click **Next >**.
