Variable Folder Exclusions in Settings

Dekkar

Hi, moving to the current version of SEC after deciding to leave my old SEM infrastructure asleep for the past year or so.

My old SEM On-Access Scan Settings allowed me to exclude things like

%temp%\NetRight

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Interwoven\

The newer version doesnt seem to have this ability, if I enter one of the above I get Invalid exclusion entered. (I tried Folder and FIle)

Having these exclusions is a pre-requisite of our DMS, so its critical that this is possible.

Is there something Im doing wrong?

Thanks,
Nathan

    Hello Nathan,

    dunno about SEM but are you sure it ever worked (i.e. you could enter them but they had no effect)? Having said this - why do you need these exclusions? What are the issues with your DMS (again, I doubt they ever took effect - variables are only available in the Cloud Server Protection)?

    % is a valid (although very rarely used) symbol for a name and SEC balks at your examples because their syntax is incorrect, it would accept \%temp%\NetRight (note the leading backslash) though it wouldn't have the desired effect. IIRC there is an (undocumented) option to qualify a file exclusion (which is global) with a folder, i.e. NoScan\*.doc would exclude all files with the extension .doc when they are (directly) in a folder named NoScan regardless of the folders location in the file system.
