SunScreen 3.1 Installation Guide

policy.name_Rule.log

This file shows rules generated from FireWall-1 rules that cannot be used in the SunScreen 3.1 environment without modification. The policy.name_Rule.log file explains why these rules were not added to the SunScreen firewall, for example:

SunScreen 3.1 does not support FireWall-1 encryption, user authentication, or client authentication. Encryption in SunScreen is accomplished through SKIP, as explained in the SunScreen 3.1 Reference Manual. For more information regarding SKIP, see the SunScreen SKIP 1.5.1 User's Guide.


Caution - Caution -

All FireWall-1 rules are generated during the conversion. You must manually remove any rules that you do not need.


The following shows a sample policy.name_Rule.log file such as you might find after a FireWall-1 to SunScreen 3.1 conversion.
