Microsoft Server – Disable Firewall Configuration Message

  • Hello,

    Thank you for adding the dismiss button to the Wordfence Web Application Firewall configuration. We run Windows IIS servers and have recommend WordFence to our clients. However, now that this message is displaying our client’s don’t understand they should dismiss the message. If they press the continue button their website crashes as there is a conflict with the .htaccess file created by WordFence; additionally, share hosting clients do not have access to a php.ini file.

    Please add a server check to automatically dismiss the message on Windows servers as this issue is causing us a lot of issues. Below is a quick write-up.

    <?php
$serverType = $_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'];
if( preg_match( '/^Microsoft.*/', $serverType)) {
    // Do not show firewal configuration message if serverType=Microsoft";
} else {
    //Show firewall configuration message;
}
?>

    Windows IIS is still a very widely used web server, this issue must be affecting a lot of users.

    I appreciate your consideration,

    Ramsey
