Modifying Firewall Settings for a User based on Server Verbs

For some services such as FTP and SQL, you can set Firewall to respond in different ways to different verbs for the same server. For example, you can set an FTP server to accept LIST commands but reject DELETE commands.

To modify settings based on verbs, enter 3 in the Set field for a server for which the Verb Support column is set to Yes on the Modify User Security screen (as shown in Modifying Firewall Settings for a User or Group based on Services).

The Modify Server Verb Authority screen appears.

Each line shows the settings for a single verb for the server, including the Verb itself, a text description of the verb, and its Current Status.

Enter one of these values in the Opt field to change that status:

1. Accept the activity using that verb.
2. Reject the activity using that verb.
3. Accept the activity using that verb, but skip both checking its validity and logging it.
4. For the DBOPEN server only: use the value for the corresponding SQL verb.
