Figure 88 - Applications
o Application Group — [Personal Firewall|Application Group], [Application Group
Information], [rw]
Configuration of groups of applications with homogeneous treatment in the
application filter. The inclusion of an application group in a personal firewall
policy works the same way as the inclusion of an individual application. This
utility makes the specification of Personal Firewall rules faster by avoiding the
necessity of explicitly listing the required firewall behavior for every
application that is relevant to the rule. The creation of an application group
requires the prior insertion of its component applications in the list that maps
application names onto executable file names.
The following information items can be set through the <New> or <Edit> tabs:
− Group Name — Unique alphanumeric name for the new application group.
− Applications — Drop-down list of applications that are available for
inclusion in the Application Group. Click the <Add> button to add the
application to the group.
