Enabling Web Tamper Protection¶
Before enabling WTP, you need to allocate a quota to a specified server. If the service is disabled or the server is deleted, the quota can be allocated to other servers.
The premium edition will be enabled when you enable WTP.

Prerequisites¶
Choose Prevention > Web Tamper Protection. Click the Servers tab. The Protection Status of the server is Unprotected.
Choose Asset Management > Servers & Quota. The Agent Status of a server is Online, and the Protection Status of the server is Unprotected.
Setting Protected Directories¶
You can set:
You can add a maximum of 50 protected directories to a host. For details, see "Adding a Protected Directory".
To record the running status of the server in real time, exclude the log files in the protected directory. You can grant high read and write permissions for log files to prevent attackers from viewing or tampering with the log files.
Enabling WTP¶
Log in to the management console.
Click in the upper left corner of the page, select a region, and choose Security > HSS. The HSS page is displayed.
In the navigation pane, choose Prevention > Web Tamper Protection. On the Web Tamper Protection page, click Add Server.
On the Add Server page, click the Available servers tab. Select the target server, select a quota from the drop-down list or retain the default value, and click Add and Enable Protection.
View the server status on the Web Tamper Protection page.
The premium edition will be enabled when you enable WTP.
Choose Prevention > Web Tamper Protection. If the Protection Status of the server is Protected, WTP has been enabled.
Choose Asset Management > Servers & Quota and click the Servers tab. If the protection status of server is Protected, and Disable and Switch Edition are grayed out in the Operation column, the premium edition included with the WTP edition has been enabled.
Important
A quota can be bound to a server to protect it, on condition that the agent on the server is online.
Disable WTP before updating a website and enable it after the update is complete. Otherwise, the website will fail to be updated.
Your website is not protected while WTP is disabled. Enable it immediately after updating your website.
