  • 1.  MS-SQL Blocking policy issue

    Posted 10/17/20 06:31 AM
    Hi,

    I have created policy in Guaridum for MS-SQL server to block the select or drop command, but while connect database itself, unable to login because many queries running in background while connecting, how can I overcome it?

    Error while login to database(created blocking policy for select &drop commands):


    Thanks,
    Panendar Rao.C

    If your policy is set to block for select, then it is expected. You need to refine your policy to block only on specific conditions like "DELETE" on specific group of objects.

    Looks that blocking works :)

    You must set correct conditions in policy blocking rules to approve allowed accesses.

    have you experiences performance issue when activating the blocking policies?
    we found that apps will get very long response than usual after applying the blocking policies. It makes success rate drop below 25% as usual because so many process were dropped after apps receiving time-out.

    You must have very specific Sgate attach criteria.
    Trusted connections from an application should be excluded from Sgate rules.
    Blocking is most effective when only privileged users coming in from a tool like DBBeaver, Toad, or SQLPLus are interrogated
