Web: MIME/Virus tab<br />

Creating Web or Secure Web Application Defenses<br />

Configuring the Web/Secure Web MIME/Virus tab<br />

To configure MIME/anti-virus properties for a Web/Secure Web<br />

defense, click the MIME/Virus tab. The following window appears.<br />

About the MIME/Virus tab The MIME/Virus tab allows you to configure filtering for<br />

MIME and anti-virus scanning services. The tab contains a rule table<br />

that displays any MIME/Anti-Virus filtering rules that have been<br />

created. The tab also contains various virus scanning and handling<br />

configuration options.<br />

Note: Virus scanning is performed on data sent from the client if the request method is<br />

either PUT or POST, and the appropriate file type is specified for scanning in the MIME<br />

filtering rules table.<br />

Note: MIME/Virus scanning services are not available for Web defenses if you select<br />

Server in the Type field. They are not available for Secure Web if you select Client in the<br />

Type field. The fields in this tab will be disabled unless you select the MIME/Virus check<br />

box on the Enforcements tab.<br />

To configure MIME/Virus properties for an Application Defense,<br />

follow the steps below.<br />

Important: You must license and configure scanning services before the MIME/Anti-<br />

Virus filter rules you create will scan HTTP/HTTPS traffic. See “Configuring scanning<br />

services” on page 3-34.<br />

1. In the Type <strong>of</strong> Scanning area, you can configure virus scanning for<br />

known and/or unknown viruses, as follows:<br />

Security Alert: If you want to perform virus scanning, you must create the<br />

appropriate virus scan rules in the MIME/Anti-Virus Filtering Rules table. Rules that<br />

are configured only to allow or deny traffic based on rule criteria will not perform<br />

virus scanning. (See step 2 for information on configuring MIME/Anti-virus filter<br />

rules.)<br />
