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
