Using Kaspersky Scan Engine in ICAP mode with GoAnywhere MFT

You can configure Kaspersky Scan Engine to work with GoAnywhere MFT. For convenience, this process is separated into several steps.

Configuring Kaspersky Scan Engine

To be integrated with GoAnywhere MFT, Kaspersky Scan Engine must be working in ICAP mode.

To configure Kaspersky Scan Engine,

Enable sending a 204 No Content HTTP status code. You can do it in the following ways:

• In the Kaspersky Scan Engine GUI, by turning on the Send code 204 toggle switch on the Service settings page.
• In the ICAP mode configuration file, by specifying 1 in the Allow204 element.

Configuring GoAnywhere MFT to work with Kaspersky Scan Engine

To add Kaspersky Scan Engine into GoAnywhere MFT:

1. In the GoAnywhere MFT web console, open the Resources page.
2. In the Resource Types list, choose ICAP Servers.

   

   GoAnywhere MFT. ICAP servers

3. Click the Add ICAP Server button.
4. Fill out the form that opens:
   • Name. Specify any name for the Kaspersky Scan Engine server. For example, Kaspersky Scan Engine ICAP.
   • URL. Specify the URL that Kaspersky Scan Engine uses in response mode. That is, the URL must contain the part that specifies the RESP method. For example, icap://{KSE_ICAP}:1344/resp.
