Rule Properties—Miscellaneous tab
Field
Description
Log successful
connections
Indicates that the security gateway is logging successful connections.
This option has the following effects:
■
When checked, the security gateway logs all messages, including successful connection
messages.
■
When unchecked, the security gateway only logs failed connections and warning and
error conditions for this rule. This reduces the number of log messages produced,
saving disk space.
■
This option has no affect on the logging of access denied messages; these are always
logged.
This option is checked by default.
Application data
scanning
Indicates whether application data scanning is enabled.
This option is only available if the service group for the rule contains the HTTP protocol.
This option has the following effects:
■
When checked on a rule that controls HTTP/HTTPS traffic, the driver forwards
protocol packets up to the proxies first to do protocol checking.
■
When unchecked, the driver bypasses the proxies (after the initial connection has been
made) and forwards the packets on to the requested destination.
Disabling application data scanning results in faster performance but lower levels of
security.
If you uncheck application data scanning, you cannot enable antivirus scanning for the
HTTP proxies, or HTTP content filtering.
If antivirus scanning or HTTP content filtering were previously enabled on the rule,
they are disabled.
This option is checked by default.
Stateful failover
Indicates whether the control of stateful failover with High Availability/Load Balancing
(HA/LB) is enabled.
This option is only available if the service group for the rule contains the HTTP, Telnet, or
FTP protocols, or a TCP-GSP or TCPAP-GSP protocol.
When checked, connections are maintained even after a security gateway failure in a cluster
environment. HA/LB maintains connections without reconnecting or re-authenticating as
long as the connection was active for sixty seconds prior to the failure.
If antivirus scanning is required for this rule, leave this option unchecked.
This option is unchecked by default.
