To add a file, trusted IT tools, or certificates to the Approved List, perform the following procedure.

Procedure

  1. On the left navigation pane, click Enforce > Reputation.
  2. Click the Add button at the top right of the page.
  3. Click Approved List.
  4. Select the Type.
    Type Fields to Enter Notes
    Hash
    • SHA-256 hash
    • Name of the file
    • Note (optional)

    MD5 is not supported. The hash must be in SHA-256 format.

    Any hash added to the approved list is assigned to the COMPANY_WHITE_LIST with the highest priority in the reputation hierarchy. No other reputation takes precedence over this status.
    IT Tools
    • Path of trusted IT tool
    • Select the check box next to Include all child processes to enable this option.
    • Note (optional)
    Tip: You can use wildcards in the path. See Using Wildcards in Paths.

    If selected, files dropped by child processes of the newly defined trusted IT tool also receive the initial trust. This option is useful when IT tools create a child process to which to delegate work, and the child process represents a generic executable such as a copy command.

    Applications added to the approved list are assigned the LOCAL_WHITE reputation and are not stalled for static analysis or cloud reputation when they are executed.
    Certs
    • Certificate (Signed by)
    • Name of the Certificate Authority
    • Note (optional)
    		 To use this functionality, a file must be signed and verified by a valid certificate.

    Certs added to the approved list are assigned the LOCAL_WHITE reputation and are not stalled for static analysis or cloud reputation when they are executed.
  5. Click Save.
