[python-win32] PythonCOM & Windows Firewall

[Metz, Bobby W, WWCS]

Roger, thanks for the code.  I'll give it a try.  Having read a bunch of
the documentation though, I'm concerned it may not work as some of our
users won't have admin rights.  I was hoping this would provide them the
Zone Alarm type prompt so that non-admin could approve the listening app
upon execution.  If all else fails it gives me a starter for checking
for existing exceptions.

Here's to hoping!!!

Bobby

I've used it to list firewall exceptions, and it wasn't too much
more work to add an application: 

import win32com.client
fw=win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch('HNetCfg.FwMgr',0)
apps=fw.LocalPolicy.CurrentProfile.AuthorizedApplications
for app in apps:
    print app.Name, app.ProcessImageFileName
    
newapp=win32com.client.Dispatch('HNetCfg.FwAuthorizedApplication')
newapp.Name='python_d.exe'
newapp.ProcessImageFileName='j:\\python24\\python_d.exe'
newapp.Enabled=True
apps.Add(newapp)


    hth
