SecMarker

Description: Create a rule marker that can be used as a target for the skipAfter action.

Syntax: SecMarker LABEL

Case Sensitive: Yes

SecMarker creates a fixed-position rule marker that serves as a target for the skipAfter action. When skipAfter is triggered, rule processing skips forward to the marker with the matching label. This enables conditional rule execution by allowing groups of rules to be skipped.

The marker itself does not perform any action; it simply serves as a jump target.

Example:

SecRule REQUEST_URI "^/admin" "id:100,phase:1,pass,skipAfter:END_ADMIN_CHECK"
SecRule REQUEST_HEADERS:Authorization "^Basic" "id:101,phase:1,deny,status:401"
SecMarker END_ADMIN_CHECK

In this example, if the URI does not start with /admin, rule 101 is executed; if it does, rule processing skips directly to END_ADMIN_CHECK, bypassing rule 101.
