## Symptoms

- Endpoint Security On Demand (ESOD) scan does not support native firewall on RedHat-based Linux distributions (RedHat, CentOS, etc.).

## Cause

Latest versions of native firewall ('ip_tables' service) can be accessed with root privileges only. So, if web browser does not run under root account, Endpoint Security On Demand (ESOD) can not determine the firewall state.

This solution requires authentication. Please log in to view the full solution.
