Signature Updates 5 In the Path field, enter the path to the directory on the server on which the update file resides. If you are using a SnapServer, the path would be similar to the following: /shares/SHARE1/sigfiles where SHARE1/sigfiles is the share path to the directory containing the signature update files. 6 Click OK. The path appears in the list box. 7 Click Download Now. Distributing Updates from One Server to Another When retrieving signature updates, the antivirus software attempts to connect to all the sites in the site list in the order they are listed. To avoid delays or superfluous error messages, delete the default FTP option from the list on SnapServers that have no Internet access. To Distribute Files via UNC If you have more than one SnapServer with no Internet access, you can perform the previous procedure on just one of them (or any Windows/SMB server), and then configure your other SnapServers to get the update from that server automatically via SMB by specifying the UNC of the server containing the signature files. Notes The following conditions must be met in order to distribute updates using UNC: • The correct Signature files must have been downloaded to the root of the share being used for updates. • The server containing the Signature updates must have the Guest account enabled (Network > Windows) in GuardianOS. For other SMB/CIFS servers, the Guest account must have no password, and there may be additional requirements (e.g., Windows servers must allow anonymous connections). • The share and Signature files must be accessible to the Guest account. • The server name used in the UNC must be resolvable by the server running CA Antivirus. 1 Navigate to Scanner > Signature Update Options, and click the Incoming tab. 2 Click the Add button, and select UNC in the Method list box.
