minor bug: rule description not completely sync'ed to 2nd CARP node
-
as stated in the title, firewall rules' description isn't completely synced to all CARP members via XMLRPC as the description field is stripped of various characters like ":"
As those are working correctly on the primary node, it's something in the XMLRPC sync that is filtered out while syncing. The rule's description on the standby is then simply missing the character.
e.g.:
- create filter rule on primary
- use a description like "auto: allow/deny XY"
- save
- check rule overview on that interface - description shows correctly
- log into secondary node and check rule overview on that interface: description is missing the ':'
There are other characters also filtered out but I don't have a complete list of them, just what I recognized in working already :)
Cheers
