  • ONTAP 9
  • Fpolicy native engine

Issue

  • When native FPolicy with '-is-file-extension-check-on-directories-enabled' is set to 'true' extension checks happen for directory operations.
  • The decision whether to allow or deny access is taken based on the extensions included or excluded in the FPolicy scope configuration.
  • When configuring native FPolicy policy with 'create', 'open' and 'rename', folders with (.) in the name can be created but cannot be opened from the Windows client.
