Editing an Inactive Fingerprint

If a fingerprint is inactive, you can modify all elements of the fingerprint and resubmit it to the Secure Firewall Management Center. This includes all properties you specified when creating the fingerprint, such as fingerprint type, target IP addresses and ports, vulnerability mappings, and so on. When you edit an inactive fingerprint and submit it, it is resubmitted to the system and, if it is a client fingerprint, you must resend traffic to the appliance before activating it. Note that you can choose only a single vulnerability mapping for an inactive fingerprint. After you activate the fingerprint, you can map additional operating systems and versions to its vulnerabilities list.
