How to use Windows 7 DirectAccess with F-Secure firewall turned on?
To set up the F-Secure firewall for DirectAccess from Policy Manager Console:
1. Windows Firewall needs to be turned on, so you need to change this setting from the policy:
PMC advanced mode -> F-Secure Internet Shield -> Settings -> Installation -> Disable Windows Firewall -> No (Final)
2. From Policy Manager, change IPV6 traffic filtering options to Normal, setting is here:
PMC advanced mode -> F-Secure Internet Shield -> Settings -> Firewall Engine -> IPV6 Filtering Mode -> Normal (Final)
3. On Policy tab choose F-Secure Internet Shield -> Settings -> Services table, and edit LDAP service in the following way:
- Rename LDAP to LDAP UDP, for example;
- On the next page change IP protocol to UDP(17);
- On the next page change Initiator ports to >0. Click Finish;
4. On Policy tab choose F-Secure Internet Shield -> Settings -> Rules table, and modify Security Level in use so, that it will contain the following rules:
Note: TCP Service could be restricted to use only the ports needed to communicate with Policy Manager. Default ports are 80, 8080 and 8081.
Note: On the client side make sure that those policies were received. Also check that Windows Firewall profile in use is turned on(only those rules which are required for MS Direct Access).
