# Executable page

You can configure a trusted executable, an executable associated with a rule or group, or add an executable to the **Firewall Catalog**. (Windows & macOS only)

 
 
 

<dfn>Trusted executables</dfn> are those deemed safe in any environment and have no known vulnerabilities. These executables are allowed to perform all operations except operations that suggest that the executables have been compromised.

 
 
 
 

Firewall treats all files and folder names in rules as case insensitive. For example, if a Firewall rule specifies to block C:\Temp\FTP.exe, Firewall also blocks C:\temp\ftp.exe and c:\TEMP\FTP.EXE. (Windows only)

 
 
 
 
 

| Option | Definition |
| --- | --- |
| **Name** | Specifies the name that you call the executable. This field is required with at least one other field: **File name or path**, **File description**, **MD5 hash**, or signer. |
| **File name or path** | Specifies the file name or path of the executable to add or edit. The file name or path can include wildcards. |
| **File description** | Indicates the description of the file. This field is used to verify an application's file description inside the executable itself. To view the file description for an executable, right-click the executable, select **Properties**, then click the **Details** tab to see the **Description** information. > [!NOTE] > Note > > **File description** is not a comment field. To add comments to an executable, use the **Notes** field. |
| **MD5 hash** (Windows only) | Indicates the MD5 hash (32-digit hexadecimal number) of the process. |
| **Signer** (Windows only) | **Enable digital signature check** — Guarantees that code hasn't been changed or corrupted since it was signed with cryptographic hash. If enabled, specify: - **Allow any signature** — Allows files signed by any process signer. - **Signed by** — Allows only files signed by the specified process signer. A signer distinguished name (SDN) for the executable is required and it must match exactly the entries in the accompanying field, including commas and spaces. The process signer appears in the correct format in the events in the log files. For example: <samp> C=US, ST=WASHINGTON, L=REDMOND, O=MICROSOFT CORPORATION, OU=MOPR, CN=MICROSOFT WINDOWS</samp> > [!NOTE] > Note > > You can enter > > <samp>S</samp> > > for the state or ProvinceName object identifier, but the element automatically appears as > > <samp>ST</samp> > > in the log files. From Trellix ePO - On-prem **Event Log**, copy and paste the details from the **Source Signer Process** field from an Trellix ENS event. |
| **Notes** | Provides more information about the item. |
