Setup local McAfee AV update server for MailGate
MailGate is not able and\or allowed to download McAfee AV updates from the external site (e.g. due to either a company security policy or infrastructure design). Is there any other way for MailGate to get AV updates?
Resolution
It is possible to create a local server from which MailGate to download AV updates by following these steps:
1. Create a local HTTP server (use apache for example, https://www.apache.org)
2. Make sure MailGate can access this local HTTP server
3. In MailGate Admin UI, under Administration -> Updates -> Anti-Virus updates
3.2. In Path field specify the path to the updates residing on the local server (usually a mirror of ftp://ftp.nai.com);
4. It is extremely important that oem.ini file is located in the root of the Path (see 3.2. above) and that the structure and location of AV updates created on the local server corresponds exactly to the content of that oem.ini file. For example oem.ini might read:
[AVV-ZIP]
DATVersion=6221
FileName=avvdat-6221.zip
FilePath=/current/VSCANDAT1000/DAT/0000/
FileSize=79486307
MD5=cbb0f217c0f9cafa85a58228e71c52e9
Where:
FileName is the actual AV update downloaded from external site and stored on the local server
FilePath is what is entered in the Path field (path must exists on the local web server).
