Installation and Configuration
The Netacea Magento integration detects bot activity and performs mitigating actions in line with the client blocking strategy.
To successfully integrate using Netacea, please ensure you have:
- 1.A Fastly version or 1.2.205+ or higher. That is the version where the Netacea Edge module for the integration is added.
- 2.
Customers will also need to open a support ticket with Magento to request Fastly to enable POST within their environment. We need to ensure that there are 2 pragmas enabled on your Fastly account that are not enabled by default.
Required Pragmas:
Pragma optional_param fix_unsent_body_drain true;
Pragma optional_param no_body_if_bereq_is_get_or_head true;
To enable the Pragmas raise a support ticket with Fastly/Magento support. These Pragmas cannot be added manually.
- Log in to the Fastly/Magento web interface.
- Check the Pragmas outlined in the prerequisite section have been enabled by navigating to Stores → Configuration → Advanced → System → Full Page Cache → Fastly Configuration → Tools → List all versions.
- Show the latest VCL version and look for the Pragmas at the top of the VCL.
Make a note of the current version should you need to roll back in the future.
Navigate to Stores → Configuration → Advanced → System → Full Page Cache → Fastly Configuration → Fastly Edge Modules and click "Manage" on the Module Manager.
- Tick the "Netacea Bot Detection integration" Edge Module and click "Save".
- Navigate to the Active Modules and click the "Netacea Bot Detection integration" Action cog.
- Input API Key & Secret Keys provided by Netacea. Populate other configurations (see VCL Snippets for details) as appropriate and click “Upload”.
Check you have completed the following steps:
- Ensure no error warnings are appearing
You are now ready to deploy by clicking "Save Config"
A Cache flush can sometimes be required. To do this go to System -> Cache Management and click "Flush Magento Cache"
Bot management will now be deployed on the Fastly/Magento environment. You can test the deployment is active by:
- Checking for the presence of the Netacea _mitata cookie on the website
