Add a third-party ModSecurity vendor

You can add a third-party ModSecurity vendor in two ways.

Install a vendor via URL

To install a third-party ModSecurity vendor that provides rules via a URL, perform the following steps:

1. Click Add Vendor. A new interface will appear.

2. In the Vendor Configuration URL text box, enter the URL for the ModSecurity vendor.

3. Click Load. The Vendor Name, Vendor Description, Vendor Documentation URL, and Vendor Path text boxes automatically load vendor data.

4. After you confirm that the vendor data is correct, click Save.

Install a vendor via RPM

To install a third-party ModSecurity vendor that provides rules via RPM, perform the following steps:

1. Ensure that the yum repository exists on your server.
   Note:

   The system stores yum repositories in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory. If the repository exists, you will find a .repo file for the vendor in that directory. For more information, read our Yellowdog Updater, Modified (yum) Basics documentation.
2. Run the following command, where modsecurity-vendor represents the vendor’s RPM file:

   yum install modsecurity-vendor

3. The vendor’s rule set will appear in the interface.

Install a cPanel-provided ModSecurity vendor

To install a cPanel-provided ModSecurity vendor, click Install for that vendor, and then click Install and Restart Apache.

Enable or disable a vendor

• To enable a vendor, click On in the Enabled column for that vendor.

• To disable a vendor, click Off in the Enabled column for that vendor.

Enable or disable updates

When you enable updates, the system retrieves new copies of the vendor metadata from the URL that you used during vendor installation. The system compares the downloaded metadata and automatically fetches and installs new versions of the rule set.

• To enable automatic updates for a vendor, click On in the Updates column.

• To disable automatic updates for a vendor, click Off in the Updates column.

Edit a vendor

The ModSecurity vendor rule sets group common rules into separate configuration files. To selectively enable or disable the configuration files, edit the vendor.

To edit a ModSecurity vendor, perform the following steps:

1. Click Edit for the vendor that you wish to edit.

2. Click Enable All, click Disable All, or click the toggle to enable or disable each configuration file.

Delete a vendor

To delete a ModSecurity vendor, locate the vendor in the list, click Delete, and then click Delete.
