Chef
- 12.7+
Platforms

Usage
In your recipe, you can use the windows_firewall_rule resource. Currently, the only supported action is :create. Attribute defaults match the netsh advfirewall defaults if they are required by netsh advfirewall, otherwise they are set to 'nil'.
This is a resource-only cookbook, and adding the default recipe to a node's runlist will have no effect.

CHANGELOG for windows_firewall
This file is used to list changes made in each version of windows_firewall.
4.0.1 (2018-05-04)
- Fix failures loading current state
4.0.0 (05-03-2018)
Breaking Changes
- The empty default recipe has been removed
- The existing LWRP has been converted to a custom resource requiring Chef 12.7 or later
Other Changes
- The resource now includes a :delete action for removing rules by name
- The resource now loads the current rule state and converges if the rule is missing. This will show up properly in reporting and no longer requires and batch resource to converge
- A name_property of rule_name has been added to the resource allowing you to use a friendly name for the resource name while still specifying the actual firewall rule name
- chef_version, issue_url and source_url metadata added
- All foodcritic warnings resolved
- All cookstyle warnings resolved
- Added delivery local mode for linting/unit testing -
3.0.1
- Fix issue with incorrect use of "deny" as a firewall action. Resource now validates for "allow", "block", or "bypass"
3.0.0
BREAKING CHANGES The protocol attribute was changed from a symbol to a string. If you were explicitly referencing this attribute in your recipes, you will need to update all usages to a string, or remove each usage to rely on the default value ('TCP'):
windows_firewall_rule 'Apache' do
protocol 'TCP' # was protocol :TCP
...
end
2.0.0
BREAKING CHANGES
- Change default action :open to :create
MAJOR CHANGE
- Test-kitchen support (only for Windows 2012R2 currently, but tests version 11 and 12 of chef-client)
- Update metadata with proper attribution as well as Apache license
- Add more attributes (including remoteip, program, service, etc)
- Most attributes are set to nil by default and only added to the command if present
- Style cleanup from rubocop and foodcritic
- Use batchresource instead of windows_batch
- Bumps cookbook version to 2.0
0.2.0
Added remoteip and localip attributes. Added Berksfile and preliminary test-kitchen harness. Several bits of cleanup that should not introduce any breaking changes, but a version bump seemed prudent.
0.1.0:
- Initial release of windows_firewall
