Configuring the Information Manager
The Symantec Security Information Manager Web configuration interface provides
a link that you can use to download and install the SIP Integration Wizard. The
wizard installs SSIM Integration Packages (SIPs) for Symantec Mail Security for
SMTP. The SIP contains the configuration settings and event schemas that the
Information Manager requires to recognize and log events from Symantec Mail
Security for SMTP.
You must run the SIP Integration Wizard for each Symantec Security Information
Manager to which you are forwarding events from Symantec Mail Security for
SMTP.
Installing the local SSIM Agent
The local SSIM Agent handles the communication between Symantec Mail Security
and the Information Manager and is installed on the same computer that is running
Symantec Mail Security. The local SSIM Agent is provided as part of the software
distribution package for Symantec Mail Security for SMTP.
When you have more than one SSIM-enabled product installed on a single
computer, these products can share a local SSIM Agent. However, each product
must register with the SSIM Agent. Thus, even if a SSIM Agent has already been
installed on the computer for another SSIM-enabled security product, you must
run the installer to register Symantec Mail Security for SMTP.
