Delete a security policy

To delete a policy in the web interface:

1. Log in to NGINX Instance Manager.
2. From the Launchpad, select NGINX Instance Manager.
3. In the left menu, select WAF > Policies.
4. On the Security Policies page, locate the policy you want to delete.
5. Select the Actions menu (…) and choose Delete.

To delete a policy using the REST API:

1. Retrieve the policy’s UID by sending a GET request to the Security Policies endpoint:

   Copy

   curl -X GET https://<NIM_FQDN>/api/platform/v1/security/policies \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"

   Replace <NIM_FQDN> with the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of your NGINX Instance Manager host and <ACCESS_TOKEN> with your access token.

2. Use the policy UID in a DELETE request:

Example:

curl -X DELETE https://<NIM_FQDN>/api/platform/v1/security/policies/{policy_uid} \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"

Replace {policy_uid} with the unique identifier (UID) of the security policy.
