Question

"Failed to save changes" error message when trying to add New Application Signature

Good Afternoon,

I've been trying to add a new application signature for the last day with no luck! Everytime I add  F-SBID (--name "electra.connection"; --protocol tcp; --service HTTP; --dst_port 5817; )

our Fortigate E61 just returns an error saying "Failed to save changes" and nothing else.

 

Our Application Control's Unknown Applications category is blocking [Active] is blocking a certain app. I don't want to enable that entire category just for the sake of this one application. I want to create the above application signature, and set it as an application signature override in the Application Control options.

 

Kindly advise if I'm going the wrong way about this or if you've encountered the same problem somewhere and how to fix it.

Thanks

    There is a new firmware update available. Check your device and push that. I'm updating ours tonight. I'll revert if I have any news.

    The problem is syntax error. I was able to create, after a lot of work:

    F-SBID (--name "TEST"; --protocol tcp; --app_cat 7; - dst_addr xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx; --dst_port 3390; --flow from_client;)

    I want to allow RDP application to a specific site (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) on port 3390. But, the above signature still does not allow me the desired matching. If anyone can help ...
