Tracey,

        The lines in fwopsec.conf are allowing connections on the Event
Logging API port.

        They are setting the port number to 18187(default) and allowing
authorised connections.

        This will allow applications like Content Screening programs to
write events directly into your firewall log.

Subject: [FW1] fwopsec.conf questions

All,

Could someone explain what the following lines mean in my fwopsec.conf file?
It seems that these were added by one of the FW patch installations or v4.1
and I am wondering if it is related to my ftp via cvp woes.

sam_allow_remote_requests no
# ELA Proxy Configuration
ela_proxy       auth_port       18187
ela_proxy       auth_type       ssl_opsec
ela_proxy       fwd_machine     localhost

Thanks,
