Signature database download was successful. The new database contains <num> number of rules. A rule
is an internal property which is used by Dell SonicWALL to determine how many signatures were
downloaded.
•
WAF signature database has been updated.
The signature database update was applied after the administrator clicked on
Apply
on the
Web
Application Firewall > Status
page.
•
WAF engine is being started with the factory default signature database.
The Web Application Firewall engine is using the factory default signature database for traffic
inspection. This could imply that no new signatures were found since the firmware update. If an attempt
to download is revealed in the logs earlier, then this message could also imply that the update could not
be processed successfully because of database errors and as a precautionary measure the factory default
database has been used.
NOTE:
You can select the
Apply Signature Updates Automatically
option on the
Web Application
Firewall > Settings
page to apply new signatures automatically. If this option is not selected, you
must click
Apply
that appears on the
Web Application Firewall > Status
page after a successful
download. After the database has been successfully applied, all of the signatures within the new
database can be found on the
Web Application Firewall > Signatures
page.
