RE: [FW1] Stealth rule and LDAP question



The Stealth rule is a rule protecting your firewall. Basically drop ANY
communications to the firewall's IP address.

the cleanup rule is just a "drop all" "any" "any". which will deny ANY
traffic if it does not meet a rule or property. This is a very necessary
rule in your rulebase because the firewall by default will drop anything
that does not find a match, BUT it will not log it. When you have your own
cleanup rule, you can turn on logging.

Hold on, what is the difference between a stealth rule and a cleanup rule?

Subject: [FW1] Stealth rule and LDAP question



Question:

My firewall had never had a stealth rule (I inherited it).  I posted the
other day about where I should put it considering I had a VPN in place, and
it was decided that it should go under the authentication rules.  Done.

Since doing so, my logs are showing that my LDAP server communication is
being dropped (source: LDAP server, dest: firewall, service: ldap-ssl, drop:
stealth rule).

I assume that I need to implicity allow communication from my LDAP server to
the firewall before the stealth rule.  Is there any danger in doing this, or
should I remove my stealth rule and let my cleanup rule handle all drops?

Any help is appreciated.
