Dear all,

I have an installation of PF version 8.3 with various backends, three network profiles, an intrusion detector and
a server to check the compliance of the hosts connecting to the network.

It is an installation made about 3 years ago which is working without any problems.

Now I need validation from the community on compliance feature. When configuring a violation, the manual says that you must specify all the vulnerabilities related individual OIDs that
must be kept under control. What does this mean ?

Does it mean that PF reacts executing the action specified in the trigger only following a vulnerability that
I've written in the list ?

If this is true it means that I have to write  an extremely long list of codes in advance, keep it constantly updated and -even if you can probably put more OIDs with a wildcard character or simply not specifying the final part of the number (*.)- with this mechanism I can't manage the level overall vulnerability but only individual bugs.

I use Greennone / Openvas but from the manual I read that  a similar thing can be done with Nessus.

Cuold you tell me, why does PF read a single OID instead of the overall result produced by the scanners, which is a number from 0 to 10, and why does it execute an action only when this value is higher than a certain level ?

I believe that this possibility, if it is not already present, would be very welcome to many users.

Lots of thanks !
Best Regards
Enrico
