## Parameters

Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments
--- | --- | ---
geolocations dictionary |  | Manages the geolocations countries whitelist, blacklist.
| blacklist list |  | A list of countries to be put on blacklist, must not have overlapping elements with `whitelist`.
| whitelist list |  | A list of countries to be put on whitelist, must not have overlapping elements with `blacklist`.
heavy_urls dictionary |  | Manages Heavy URL protection. Heavy URLs are a small number of site URLs that might consume considerable server resources per request.

auto_detect
boolean

Choices:
- no
- yes

Enables or disables automatic heavy URL detection.

| exclude list |  | Specifies a list of URLs or wildcards to exclude from the heavy URLs.
| include list |  | Configures additional URLs to include in the heavy URLs that were auto detected.

|  | url string |  | Specifies the URL to be added to the list of heavy URLs, in addition to the automatically detected ones.
| latency_threshold integer |  | Specifies the latency threshold for automatic heavy URL detection. The accepted range is between 0 and 4294967295 milliseconds inclusive.
mobile_detection dictionary |  | Configures detection of mobile applications built with the Anti-Bot Mobile SDK and defines how requests from these mobile application clients are handled.

allow_android_rooted_device
boolean

Choices:
- no
- yes

When `yes` device will allow traffic from rooted Android devices.

allow_any_android_package
boolean

Choices:
- no
- yes

When `yes` allows any application publisher.
A publisher is identified by the certificate used to sign the application.

allow_any_ios_package
boolean

Choices:
- no
- yes

When `yes` allows any iOS package.
A package name is the unique identifier of the mobile application.

allow_emulators
boolean

Choices:
- no
- yes

When `yes` allows traffic from applications run on emulators.

allow_jailbroken_devices
boolean

Choices:
- no
- yes

When `yes` allows traffic from jailbroken iOS devices.

android_publishers
list

This option has no effect when `allow_any_android_package` is set to `yes`.
Specifies the allowed publisher certificates for android applications.
The publisher certificate needs to be installed on the BIG-IP beforehand.
The certificate name located on a different partition than the one specified in `partition` parameter needs to be provided in `full_path` format `/Foo/cert.crt`.

client_side_challenge_mode
string

Choices:
- pass
- cshui

Action to take when a CAPTCHA or Client Side Integrity challenge needs to be presented.
The mobile application user will not see a CAPTCHA challenge and the mobile application will not be presented with the Client Side Integrity challenge. The such options for mobile applications are `pass` or `cshui`.
When `pass` the traffic is passed without incident.
When `cshui` the SDK checks for human interactions with the screen in the last few seconds. If none are detected, the traffic is blocked.

enabled
boolean

Choices:
- no
- yes

When `yes`, requests from mobile applications built with Anti-Bot Mobile SDK will be detected and handled according to the parameters set.
When `no`, these requests will be handled like any other request which may let attacks in, or cause false positives.

## Notes

Note

- Requires BIG-IP >= 13.1.0
- For more information on using Ansible to manage F5 Networks devices see https://www.ansible.com/integrations/networks/f5.
- Requires BIG-IP software version >= 12.
- The F5 modules only manipulate the running configuration of the F5 product. To ensure that BIG-IP specific configuration persists to disk, be sure to include at least one task that uses the bigip_config module to save the running configuration. Refer to the module’s documentation for the correct usage of the module to save your running configuration.
