Select update source

Kaspersky update servers or custom update sources can be specified as update sources for the Anti-Virus and Anti-Spam database update tasks.

Kaspersky Security 8 for Liinux Mail Server does not support updates from HTTP and FTP servers with authorization.

To select a custom update source:

1. To export update task settings to an XML file, use the command:

   # /opt/kaspersky/klms/bin/klms-control \

   --get-settings <update task ID> -f <file name> or

   --get-settings Updater -n -f <file name>

2. Open the XML file to edit the task settings.
3. In the <updateCommonSettings> section, specify Custom as the value of the sourceType setting:

   <sourceType>Custom</sourceType>

4. In the <customSources> subsection, specify the custom update source (a local folder on the computer or HTTP/FTP server).

   If you need to add several custom update sources, each new custom update source must be in a separate <item> section, typed in a new string of the settings file.

   Example: <updateCommonSettings> <sourceType>Custom</sourceType> <customSources> <item> ftp://172.16.10.145/xz6 </item> <item> http://172.16.10.145/xz6 </item> </customSources>

5. Save the changes made.
6. To import settings from an XML file to an update task, use the command:

   # /opt/kaspersky/klms/bin/klms-control \

   --set-settings <update task ID> -f <file name> or

   --set-settings Updater -n -f <file name>
