Environment
Novell File Reporter
Situation
After logging in to the Novell File Reporter web interface, administrators are returned to the login screen after less than a minute.
Resolution
Exclude the following directories from real-time protection:
- C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\
- C:\inetpub\srs_root
- C:\ProgramData\Novell\File Reporter\
Cause
Various real-time antivirus software services attempt to scan core ASP.NET framework files, including temporary files created in the .NET Framework's working directories. These generate errors in IIS, and once those errors reach an internal threshold, IIS silently restarts the File Reporter AppPool, closing all open sessions in the process.
