Unable to find few system properties in instance and query regarding the same

[Suggy]

As part of instance hardening, servicenow recommends to set this property 'glide.processors.check_access_before_process' to TRUE.

Doc link - https://www.servicenow.com/docs/bundle/xanadu-platform-security/page/administer/security-center/refe...

When I am searching that property its now showing up and once ServiceNow said, if a property is not seen, then its understood that the default value is TRUE.

But here, SN says, the default value of this property is FALSE and recommends to set it to TRUE.

So if my understanding wrong that, if a property is not found, then its default value is TRUE?

Hello @Suggy 

Create a new property and the set value to False...and check the Security score again....

The property might have been hard coded.

Please mark the answer as helpful and correct if helped.

have you tried searching the Property in code search and see if it is hard-coded somewhere..?

When ServiceNow proposed few solutions, I have created system properties before which were not present in the system. 

Please mark the answer as helpful and correct if helped.

Hi @Suggy ,

 few system properties we cannot see and able to update due to some security reasons 

Run below script in background scrip if you can see the value 

var propertyValue = gs.getProperty('glide.processors.check_access_before_process');

gs.print('The value of the system property is: ' + propertyValue);

Still not able to see ,Create a new system property with name glide.processors.check_access_before_process'  set to TRUE as per ServiceNow recommendation.

If my response helped, please mark it as the accepted solution ✅ and give a thumbs up👍.
Thanks,
Anand

@Anand Kumar P Docs says the default value is FALSE.

When I ran that script, it says "*** Script: The value of the system property is: null"

Now what does it mean 🙂
