Signature Updates
76 Snap Server Administrator Guide
Updating Snap Servers That Have Internet Access
Snap Servers are preconfigured to download signature updates from the CA FTP
site at
ftp://ftpav.ca.com/pub/inoculan/scaneng . If your Snap Servers have direct
access to the Internet, you only need to schedule the downloads to set up automatic
signature updates. If access to the Internet is routed through a proxy server, you
may also need to specify the name of the proxy server. Both procedures are given
next:
To Schedule Signature Update Downloads
1
Choose
Scanner > Signature Update Options
.
2
On the Schedule tab, click
Enable Scheduled Download
, and then select (a) the
initial download date and time; and (b) how often to repeat the download.
3
Click
OK
.
To Specify a Proxy Server
1
Choose
Scanner > Signature Update Options
, and click the Incoming tab.
2
Select FTP in the list box, and click
Edit
.
3
In the Proxy Name field, enter the IP address of the proxy server, and click
OK
.
UNC Use UNC to distribute signature updates from one Snap Server to another (or
from any arbitrary SMB or Windows server). Note that for UNC to work, you
must have the Enable Guest Account option set to
Yes
( Security > Windows )
on the Snap Server on which the signature updates reside.
Tip
Alternatively, you can distribute updates to Snap Servers from any
Windows/SMB server. If using this method, make sure the guest account on
the chosen server exists, is enabled, and has a blank password.
Local Path As part of the procedure to provide signature updates to a Snap Server with
no Internet access, you can connect to a local path relative to the root, e.g.,
/shares/SHARE1/virusdefs.
Note that the path to the share is case sensitive.
