Dear all,

I have BIG-Ip ASM V15, in live updates, on "Bot Signatures" it shows me that "You do not have permission to perform this action"

  • Hi Rasool1224,

     

    I did some searching for "You do not have permission to perform this action" and that led me to two different bugs that could possibly be related to that issue.

     

    Bug ID 756418: Live Update does not authenticate remote users

    https://cdn.f5.com/product/bugtracker/ID756418.html

     

    Bug ID 752942: Live Update cannot be used by Administrator users other than 'admin' and 'root'

    https://cdn.f5.com/product/bugtracker/ID752942.html

     

     

    That being said, both of those bugs are supposed to be fixed in v15.0.0 so it's possible that you could be running into some kind of similar bug that hasn't been discovered yet. I would recommend opening a case with Support to have them take a closer look just in case it is an unknown bug in v15.

  • You also need a Threat Campaign subscription to manually update Bot Signatures - otherwise you have to wait for whatever updates that are shipped with a major version release.

    Bot signatures are a class of signatures what identify legitimate or malicious web robots by looking for specific patterns in the headers of incoming HTTP requests. With the release of BIG-IP 14.1.0, this feature requires a separate license. Bot signature updates are part of the Threat Campaigns subscription-based service license. Without a Threat Campaigns license, bot signatures cannot be updated using manual or automatic updates; however, you can still add custom bot signatures.
