Test Access Protection installation

Log on to the system as a user with administrator rights.

Change the directory to the Threat Prevention bin directory.

/opt/McAfee/ens/tp/bin

Run the command:

./mfetpcli --getapstatus

If Access Protection status is Enabled, verify whether Access Protection is working.

To verify whether Access Protection is working, create a rule to block a file /tmp/testfile1.

./mfetpcli --createaprule --rulename test1 --block enable --report enable --subrulename stest1 --subruletype file --operation create --includetargetfile /tmp/testfile1

When you run the command from the /opt/McAfee/ens/tp/bin directory, a rule test1 with a subrule stest1 is created that blocks the user from creating a file or directory with the name testfile1 in the /tmp directory.

Run the command: touch /tmp/testfile1
