Environment
- Cb Defense Web Console: All Versions
- Cb Defense Sensor: All Versions
- A path containing a comma is specified in "Applications at path(s)" for Permissions policy rules
Symptoms
- Rule doesn't apply
- Application(s) in path aren't excluded from blocking/termination or monitoring by Cb Defense Sensor
Cause
- A comma will terminate the line and begin a new pattern
- This is a server-side limitation
Resolution
- Use the question mark character wildcard in place of the comma in the path
Example
C:\program files 86\acme technologies, inc\folder\application.exe |
C:\program files 86\acme technologies? inc\folder\application.exe |
Additional Notes
- Same limitation and workaround apply to Blocking and Isolation policy rules
- If you'd like to see this limitation eliminated in future versions, please up-vote
- The limitation described in this article does not affect policy rules not based on specific path
