Description

When a firewall rule refers to a DB record, it must exist.

Deleting a DB record referenced by a firewall rule must be forbidden, to avoid unexpected firewall configurations.

A firewall rule can point to records in the following DBs/record types:

  • hosts
    host-group, host, remote, local
  • networks
    zone, ethernet, bridge, vlan, alias, bond
  • fwservices
    fwservice

Test case

  • Test DNS & DHCP page works correctly if nethserver-firewall-base is not installed:
    • create, edit, delete a DNS (remote) record
    • reserve, edit, delete a DHCP (local) record
Install modified nethserver-firewall-base package:
  • Check removal of a firewall object (host, host-group, zone, fwservice) is forbidden if a firewall rule references it.
  • The same applies to removal of DNS and DHCP records (remote, local record types).

The reference consistency is not enforced on Network page: references to an interface role can be broken. Verify an error message is shown.
