Updated on March 16, 2021

Enabling CSRF Settings prevents unwanted attacks on customer web applications. In the following use case, the system performs the CSRF check on all activities and streams except chat-specific activities and streams.

Pega Customer Service Implementation Guide
  1. In the header of Dev Studio, click ConfigureSystemSettingsCross-Site Request Forgery.
    Result: The system opens the Cross-Site Request Forgery page.
  2. In the Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) Settings section, select the Enable CSRF token check radio button.
    Result: The system displays the Secure section with the following two options:
    • All activities & streams: Secures all activities and streams except the specified activities.
    • Specific activities & streams: Secures only specific activities and streams and allows the rest.
    Note: Enabling the CSRF check doesn’t allow the chatbot to load on a web page.
  3. To exclude CSRF check on the chat-specific activities and streams, perform the following tasks:
