Virus scanning of inbound and outbound file transfers occurs
on the IBM® Sametime® Community Server.
The Sametime Proxy Server
does not offer any specific virus scanning support for files during
file transfer through a Sametime Proxy
Server. You can configure the file system location used for temporary
storage of files and enforce virus scanning during file read and write.
Procedure
- Specify a temporary file storage directory for the file
being transferred by completing step a or step b:
- From the Sametime System
Console, configure a parent directory for file transfer by completing
these steps:
- Browse to the WebSphere® Integrated
Solutions Console on the server hosting the Sametime System Console.
- Log in to the Integrated Solutions Console as the WebSphere administrator.
- In the navigation tree, click .
- Under Deployment Identifier, click the name of the proxy server.
The Proxy server settings admin page displays.
- In the File transfer temporary store location field,
enter the temporary file storage location. By default, the Sametime Proxy Server uses
the temporary OS directory on the file system.
- Click OK.
- Manually change the stproxyconfig.xml file
used by the Sametime Proxy
Server's deployment manager,
- Find the stproxyconfig.xml file in the Proxy Server's deployment manager
profile configuration.
The file path is: <IBM WebSphere
folder>/AppServer/profiles/<Proxy file folder>\config\cells\<Proxy cell
folder>\nodes\<Proxy node folder>\servers\STProxyServer\stproxyconfig.xml
- Add the path for the temporary files to the <fileTransferDirectory>
setting.
For example,
<fileTransferDirectory>C:/IBM/temp/filetransfer</fileTransferDirectory>
- To set virus scan for files transferred using the IBM Sametime Community Server,
see the topic Allowing
users to transfer files to each other.
Note: Setting
virus scan using the Sametime Community
Server also includes all files sent from the Sametime Proxy Server.
When
the virus scanner detects a virus in an uploaded or received file,
the file is deleted and an error code is returned to the Web Client.
The Web Client indicates that the file could not be transferred due
to its having been removed from the filesystem of the Sametime Proxy server. This
could be due to a number of reasons, including removal by the server-side
virus scanner.
