Firewall Violation Notifications for Client Users

OfficeScan can display a notification message on a client computer immediately after the OfficeScan firewall blocks outbound traffic that violated firewall policies. Grant users the privilege to enable/disable the notification message.

• You can also enable the notification when you configure a particular firewall policy. To configure a firewall policy, see Adding or Modifying a Firewall Policy.

To grant users the privilege to enable/disable the notification message:

• Networked Computers > Client Management

1. In the client tree, click the root domain icon to include all clients or select specific domains or clients.

2. Click Settings > Privileges and Other Settings.

3. On the Privileges tab, go to the Firewall Settings section.

4. Select Allow users to enable/disable the firewall, Intrusion Detection System, and the firewall violation notification message.

5. If you selected domain(s) or client(s) in the client tree, click Save. If you clicked the root domain icon, choose from the following options:

• Apply to All Clients: Applies settings to all existing clients and to any new client added to an existing/future domain. Future domains are domains not yet created at the time you configured the settings.

• Apply to Future Domains Only: Applies settings only to clients added to future domains. This option will not apply settings to new clients added to an existing domain.

To modify the content of the notification message:

• Notifications > Client User Notifications

1. Click the Firewall Violations tab.

2. Modify the default messages in the text box provided.

3. Click Save.
