Environment
Novell Open Enterprise Server 11 (OES 11) Linux
Novell iFolder 3.9
Novell iFolder 3.9
Situation
After an Allow/Deny rule has been added in the iFolder Administration console | System tab, that rule cannot be modified.
This can be seen by selecting a rule, then selecting the opposite of what that rule is (i.e. pick a file that has 'deny' as the policy, then select 'allow'). Then click 'Save'
The rule reverts back to its initial value, and is still enforced by the iFolder server.
Resolution
This is a defect and has been reported to engineering.
As a work around, delete the rule that needs to be modified.
Additional Information
Server info: OES11, SLES11 SP1 Duplication steps: iFolder Administration console | System Add a file type such as *.mp3, click Add Click 'Save' There should now be an exclusion in place for the file type entered Select the exclusion that was just created, then click 'Allow' (Note: at this point, the file type should display 'Allow') Click 'Save' Notice that 'Allow' reverts back to 'Deny' From a client workstation an attempt to upload this type of file will fail based on policy. The only way to make it allow that file type again is to deleted the policy.
