Errors found in the SSL filter policy
The screen for editing SSL filter rules on the firewall has a rule compliance and coherence analyzer which warns the administrator when a rule inhibits another rule or if there is an error in a rule.
This analyzer groups errors during the creation of rules or incoherent rules.
Errors are displayed in the form of a list. By clicking on an error, the rule concerned will automatically be selected.
