Something new I have come across today, wondering if anyone else has experienced this and what they did about it:
I created a policy in my ERA server (v6.3), to apply to ESET Endpoint Security (v6.3) clients, to create an "Allow" personal firewall rule for an application that needs inbound and outbound access.
The policy setting was Applied, but not Forced.
As soon as the agents updated to include this policy, users could no longer Add, Edit or Delete their own firewall rules. They could only view them.
This means that they cannot create their own rules, plus the Interactive mode in the firewall no longer functions since they cannot add new rules based off events triggered.
It seems like this behaviour is a mistake.
If the policy setting is only applied, shouldn't users be able to edit their rules themselves? And even if it was forced, shouldn't they still be able to add/edit/delete their own rules?
