Article Summary

Configuring Required Parameters

Configuration options are set on the $perimeterxConfig variable.

Required parameters:

  • app_id
  • cookie_key
  • auth_token
  • module_mode

All parameters are obtainable via the HUMAN Portal. (Applications and Policies pages)

Changing the Minimum Score for Blocking

Default blocking value: 100

$perimeterxConfig = [
    ..
    'blocking_score' => 75
    ..
]

Custom Blocking Actions

In order to customize the action performed on a valid block value, use the 'custom_block_handler' option, and provide a user-defined function.

The custom handler should contain the action to be taken, when a visitor receives a score higher than the 'blocking_score' value.
Common customization options are presenting of a reCAPTCHA, or supplying a custom branded block page.

Default block behaviour: return an HTTP status code of 403 and serve the HUMAN block page.

/**
 * @param \Perimeterx\PerimeterxContext $pxCtx
 */
$perimeterxConfig['custom_block_handler'] = function ($pxCtx)
{
    $block_score = $pxCtx->getScore();
    $block_uuid = $pxCtx->getUuid();

    // user defined logic goes here
};

$px = Perimeterx::Instance($perimeterxConfig);
$px->pxVerify();
Examples

Serving a Custom HTML Page

/**
 * @param \Perimeterx\PerimeterxContext $pxCtx
 */
$perimeterxConfig['custom_block_handler'] = function ($pxCtx)
{
    $block_score = $pxCtx->getScore();
    $block_uuid = $pxCtx->getUuid();
    $full_url = $pxCtx->getFullUrl();

    $html = '<div>Access to ' . $full_url . ' has been blocked.</div> ' +
                  '<div>Block reference - ' . $block_uuid . ' </div> ' +
                  '<div>Block score - ' . $block_score . '</div>';

    //echo $html;
    header("Status: 403");
    die();
};

$px = Perimeterx::Instance($perimeterxConfig);
$px->pxVerify();
