Azure WAF may block legitimate traffic due to strict rule sets. You can resolve false positives by identifying the problematic rules and configuring exclusions or tuning WAF policies for Azure Front Door or Application Gateway.

To configure rate limiting in Azure Front Door WAF, you need to set up custom WAF policies with specific rate limit thresholds. This controls incoming request volumes and protects web applications from abusive traffic patterns.

WAF configuration differs between Azure Front Door and Application Gateway in their architecture and integration points. Both support custom rules and bot protection, but require distinct deployment strategies and security hardening approaches.

Troubleshooting Azure Web Application Firewall blocking issues involves diagnosing WAF logs to identify triggered rules. You can then adjust policies, create rule exclusions, or tune the configuration to resolve the blocking behavior.

Azure WAF security hardening best practices include implementing proper policy configurations, tuning rules to minimize false positives, and following structured migration strategies to ensure robust threat mitigation across web applications.
