Pega Process Fabric Hub security dynamic system settings

Updated on November 9, 2021

The Pega Process Fabric Hub includes a set of dynamic system setting rules that increase the security of connections between your applications and the Pega Process Fabric Hub. As a result, you secure your application from any unauthorized or unauthenticated resources.

The following table lists the security dynamic system settings that your system receives when you install the Pega Process Fabric Hub.
Note: The default values are recommended values to increase the security of your applications that you register with the Pega Process Fabric Hub. Dynamic system settings are system-wide and might affect other applications that you deploy on the same system as the Pega Process Fabric Hub. Before you move your applications to the production environment, conduct thorough testing to ensure that all your applications operate correctly.

  • security/csrf/allowReferrersWithExactMatchOnly
  • security/csrf/validreferers
  • security/csrf/allowedStreams
  • security/csrf/allowedActivities
  • security/csrf/securedStreams
  • security/csrf/securedActivities
  • security/csrf/enableWhitelistReferrer
  • security/csrf/secureall
  • security/csrf/mitigation
Note: For the security/csrf/allowReferrersWithExactMatchOnly CSRF-related dynamic system setting, ensure that the value is false. For the remaining settings, ensure that the values match your needs.
