Defining Profile Configuration Parameters and MIME Types

Use

You want to define profile configuration parameters for scanning MIME types for a specific virus scan profile. These parameters are used to define for scanner groups the MIME types that are taken into account when scanning a component.

Prerequisites

You have created virus scan profiles and scanner groups.

Procedure

  1. In the Implementation Guide, choose Start of the navigation pathSAP NetWeaver Next navigation step Application Server Next navigation step System Administration Next navigation step Virus Scan InterfaceEnd of the navigation path (transaction VSCANPROFILE), and switch to change mode.

    The screen View: Change "Virus Scan Profile": Overview appears.

  2. Select a virus scan profile and choose Profile Configuration Parameters.

    The Display "Profile Configuration Parameters": Overview screen appears.

  3. To edit the profile configuration parameters, choose New Entries.

  4. In the Parameter column, choose the input help (F4). A list of the possible parameters for the scan engine appears. You can now select parameters that start with CUST.

  5. Save your entries.

The MIME types are only evaluated if you have activated the Evaluate profile configuration parameters indicator. The profile configuration parameters CUST_CHECK_MIME_TYPE and CUST_MIME_TYPES_ARE_BLACKLIST define how external virus scanners handle MIME types.

In the MIME Types section, you can define MIME types for the selected virus scan profile. The MIME types correspond to the standards RFC 2045 and RFC 2046. Depending on the profile configuration parameters, they are interpreted either as a negative list or as a positive list. In this way, you can define which file types and MIME types are permitted by the external virus scanner.

Enter the MIME types as follows:

  1. Choose the MIME Types section.

  2. Enter the MIME types as follows:
