It doesn't matter if the rule allows or denies.
The first rule that matches the request is the one that will act on it.

Overall Order:
    1. System rules (in listed order)
    2. Firewall rules (in listed order)

for( Each Non-Default Rule in Listed Order )
{
    if ( rule matches request )
    {
        if ( rule requires authentication )
        {
            get user credentials
            if ( user fails authentication )
            {
                SEEYA!!!
                return;
            }
        }
        else
        {
            take rule-defined action
            return;
        }
    }
}

Deny

Can you please confirm this ?  :-) thanks 

 

 

When does it stop while going down .. ?

 

Only if there is a specific rule matching that protocol and user to allow
traffic , it allows, otherwise it keeps checking all rules and if none are
found matching .. it drops the request .. Right ?

 

If there is a deny for that user/protocol it discards request and stops
checking further rules . right ?

Hi Aman,

 

They are processed from the top down, with System Policy rules being
processed before Firewall Policy.

 

HTH,

ISA 2004 ? I mean in what order they are processed and which rule has
preference, whats the priority etc ..

 

Thanks
