Internet connection
MetaDefender ICAP Server requires internet connection for online license activation.
Proxy configuration
Linux
Set variable https_proxy in file /etc/default/mdicapsrv.
Windows
Under Windows use the netsh tool to set the proxy, e.g.: netsh winhttp set proxy <ADDRESS>
In some cases setting the proxy with netsh is not sufficient. In that case set the proxy by starting Internet Explorer with SYSTEM rights and configure the proxy in the settings. To do this please follow this article.
You might need to configure Windows proxy to bypass local addresses if you can't access Web Management Console from the host itself. Consult netsh documentation for additional configuration options.
No Proxy configuration
To avoid traffic between MD ICAP Server and MD Core go through proxy by setting on Proxy configuration, set no_proxy variable in file /etc/default/mdicapsrv
For example: MD ICAP Server under proxy setting want to connect o 2 MD Core servers with domain https: //local.core. awesomecompany .net:8008 and IP address: http://10.40.50.111:8008 then domain https: //local.core. awesomecompany .net:8008 and http://10.40.50.111:8008 should be set to variable no_proxy as below:
Linux
no_proxy=10.40.50.111/32,.core.awesomecompany.netFrom MD ICAP Server 5.1.0 the cidr must be set with IP Address (10.40.50.111/32), with older version do not need follow cidr
E.g for older version than MD ICAP Server v5.1.0
no_proxy=10.40.50.111,.core.awesomecompany.net
