# Enabling attack list fetching from ABS

## Steps

1. To enable ASE Security, run the following command:

   ```
   /opt/pingidentity/ase/bin/cli.sh -u admin -p admin enable_firewall
   ```

2. To enable ASE to send API traffic information to ABS, run the following command:

   ```
   /opt/pingidentity/ase/bin/cli.sh -u admin -p admin enable_abs
   ```

3. To enable ASE to fetch and block ABS detected attacks, run the following command:

   ```
   /opt/pingidentity/ase/bin/cli.sh -u admin -p admin enable_abs_attack
   ```

   ### Result:

   After enabling automated attack blocking, ASE periodically fetches the attack list from ABS and blocks the identified connections.

4. To set the time interval at which ASE fetches the attack list from ABS, configure the `abs_attack_request_minute` parameter in `ase.conf` file

   ### Example:

   ```
   ; This value determines how often ASE will query ABS.
   abs_attack_request_minutes=10
   ```
