Create an Imperva WAF machine

Creating a machine enables Next-Gen Trust Security to connect directly to an Imperva WAF so certificates can be provisioned to its keystores. After creating the machine, you can provision certificates to it.

Before you begin

  • Hostname or IP address of the Imperva WAF.
  • Port number, if the WAF uses a port other than 443.
  • Credentials with administrative permissions on the Imperva WAF.
  • Imperva API credentials required for certificate operations.
  1. In Imperva Address/Hostname, confirm the default value (my.imperva.com) or enter the hostname or IP address for your Imperva WAF.
  2. If the Imperva WAF uses a port other than 443, enter the port number in Port.
  3. From Credential Type, select one of the following:
    • Enter Credentials to provide credentials manually.
    • Select Credentials to use shared credentials from a configured credential provider.
    Note: The available credential options depend on your environment configuration.
  4. Enter the required Imperva WAF credentials.
    Warning: Remember to store your username and password securely when creating a new machine. For security reasons, you will not be able to modify the fields under the "Access" tab without these credentials. This ensures that only authorized individuals can modify these fields.
  5. Enter the Imperva API ID.
  6. Enter the Imperva API Key.
  7. Click Test Access to verify connectivity.
  8. Click Continue. The Continue button is enabled only after the connection test succeeds.
