Overview

Note:

When passing ForwardedIPConfig as input to an Aws::Client method, you can use a vanilla Hash:

{
  header_name: "ForwardedIPHeaderName", # required
  fallback_behavior: "MATCH", # required, accepts MATCH, NO_MATCH
}

The configuration for inspecting IP addresses in an HTTP header that you specify, instead of using the IP address that's reported by the web request origin. Commonly, this is the X-Forwarded-For (XFF) header, but you can specify any header name.

If the specified header isn't present in the request, AWS WAF doesn't apply the rule to the web request at all.

This configuration is used for GeoMatchStatement and RateBasedStatement. For IPSetReferenceStatement, use IPSetForwardedIPConfig instead.

AWS WAF only evaluates the first IP address found in the specified HTTP header.
