    Hello!

    As fas I can understand you , you want to have ESS configured with the firewall completely disabled . Of course , this is possible but I must note it is generraly a risky situation because your remote users with no hacker/attacker protection .

    How to do it :
    In your configuration :
    1. turn the firewall to Policy-based mode
    2. Press the default button so that default options appear . Note , you may have to edit some of them such the the Trusted zone or untrusted zones.
    3. Start creating new rule :
    Name : your choice
    Direction : Both
    Action : Allow
    Protocol : TCP & UDP

    Additional action:
    check Log


    In Local tab - do not touch here . If there is no info entered , ESS will allow communication from and to any port (a.k.a all ports)
    In Remote choose - do not touch here . If there is no info entered , ESS will allow communication from and to any port (a.k.a all ports)

    Press OK and Apply buttons . This should do the trick for you

    Hi elrad,

    Simplest suggestion I have is to manually setup one workstation to the desired initial configuration and then export the settings (ESS-BE GUI, 'Setup' drop down menu). This way you can see open the saved .xml in the configuration editor and see how all areas of your desired configuration look.

    The two special areas to note (if I correctly understand your request?) are 'Filtering Mode' - should be 'interactive', and also 'Rule Setup' - If you selected 'Allow Sharing' before export of the .xml then the 'Zones' tab will be configured correctly.
    Screenshot - 28_10_2008 , 3_59_47 AM.png

    Try export once with 'Strict Protection' first to compare the Zones tab against if you like.

    Now when you create your install package from the ERAC 'Remote Install' tab you can select the pre-configured .xml file you exported earlier - with all settings done.

    If I can explain further, please let me know.

    Cheers :)
