# DD - Apache2 ModSecurity + HAProxy Installation of Apache2 ModSecurity and HAProxy. * In Apache2 with ModSecurity V3 enabled are included the OWASP rules. * HAProxy service acts as application frontend and administers and negotiates the SSL domain certificate using Letsencrypt. * Modsecurity is disabled by default when installing DD. * The installation can be done with or without WAF part. * If you have installed WAF you can set in bypass mode or enabled mode. ## Apache - ModSecurity You can find the service definition in `dd-sso/docker/waf-modsecurity`. There are different files to set up this service: * `000-default.conf` contains Apache2 web service settings. * `crs-setup.conf` is where is configured the OWASP ModSecurity Core Rule Set ver.3.2.0 . * `modsec_rules.conf` contains the needed files for owasp service of Apache2. * `rules_apps.conf` is where are configured the false positives, of different applications, that needs to be detected until the moment. ### Enable/Disable DD can be used with WAF enabled or disabled, this is set in variable `DISABLE_WAF` in `dd.conf` file. The default value is `true` (WAF disabled), this will change in the future. ``` # Sample of dd.conf # Enable WAF DISABLE_WAF=false # Disable WAF DISABLE_WAF=true ``` ### Configuration Changes in `dd.conf` are not immediate, you need to deploy again the DD containers using `dd-ctl`: ```sh ./dd-ctl down ./dd-ctl build ./dd-ctl up ```
