portalScan.py getting the same results After making changes?

AndreaB_

Hi all,

*Enterprise 11.3 new installation.

I ran portalScan.py to see I had 5 issues to be addressed. So I changed 3 of them and reran portalScan.py. The 3 issues are still there in the results of the portalScan. They are PS14, PS17, and PS16. Those are changes I made in the System Properties of portal admin. I restarted the Portal service again just to see if it needed to be restarted. I can clearly see them listed in Portal Admin system properties.

Why doesn't portalScan see the updated security settings? Is there some weird delay or something - I have to wait a day and rerun it? There is no documentation out there about this.

Thank you,

A

Hi @AndreaB_ 

Yes, that is a bug in the script that needs to be fixed.  When the script reads the System Properties for those settings, it is expecting a boolean value (without double-quotes), not a string.  Portal supports them being entered in either format.  To get those removed from the portalScan results, you'll need to remove the double-quotes from each of those values.
