Configuring Security Settings

1. Viewing the System Policy.
2. Defining a new rule for the System Policy.
3. Ordering the rules.
In general, follow these guidelines when you make rules:
• When you add a rule to computer A’s policy for secure communication
with computer B, you must add a matching rule in computer B’s policy for
secure communication with computer A. Otherwise, the rule will fail and
communication will be denied or allowed unsecure (depending on the If
rule fails setting for both workgroups’ rules).
• If you add two rules that include some of the same computers (for example,
one rules lists computer A as the destination workgroup, and another rule
lists Everybody – all computers on the network – as the destination work-
group), you must order the specific rule before the general rule. Otherwise,
the specific rule will never be applied. See “Importance of Rule Order” on
page 27 for more information.
