Issue:
How can I create an exclusion for a certain software update from the F-Secure Software Updater in the PSB Portal for PSB Computer Protection or Server Protection?
Resolution:
Prerequisite: You need to have a non-default profile before you can configure your software updater settings.
You can exclude specific software updates from automatic installation by following these steps:
- Log in to the PSB Portal
- Go to the Profiles page
- Select the profile you want to modify
- Go to Software updater settings tab
- Under Exclude software from automatic installation, click Add rule
- Select from the Rule drop-down menu one of the following:
- Update name contains
- Software name contains
- Vendor name contains
- Severity equals to
- Bulletin ID equals to
- Then depending on the rule you've chosen, enter the value to the remaining field. Examples:
- Update name contains: Google Chrome 89.0.4389.82
- Software name contains: Google Chrome
- Vendor name contains: Google Inc.
- Severity equals to: Critical Security / Important Security
- Bulletin ID equals to: FSPM-41-64283-4
You can view the update details from the Software Updater page in the PSB Portal.
Note:
- Only one software per exclusion is supported. If you need to add multiple software, click Add rule again.
- You can add several conditions in one rule, if you want to combine for example Software name contains and Severity equals to conditions, click Add condition in the rule column.
After the profile has been saved and published, the exclusion will be taken into use on the devices that have this profile assigned.
If you would like to hide the update completely from being detected as missing by Software Updater, you need to exclude it via the following setting in the PSB Portal profile editor:
- Log in to the PSB Portal
- Go to the Profiles page
- Select the profile you want to modify
- Go to Software updater settings tab
- Scroll down to the Exclude updates from scan results section
- Click Add rule
