Java-Specific Configuration
This Chapter describes the Virus Scan Interface Configuration for Java systems. The texts
were taken from the SAP website.
7.1
Setting Up Virus Scan Providers
The virus scan provider is the service of the J2EE Engine that makes the tc/sec/vsi/
interface available to the SAP applications of the Engine.
Select an installation type for the virus scan provider, depending on your system
prerequisites:
•
Virus scan adapter for a purely-Java installation:
This procedure describes the normal case in which you are using a local virus scan
adapter. The virus scan adapter is a native dynamic library from a third-party vendor,
which can be loaded directly into the process environment of the J2EE Engine. This
means that you can check memory contents directly for viruses, which enables higher
performance.
•
Virus scan server for a purely-Java installation:
This procedure describes the special case in which the platform or process
architecture does not allow the direct inclusion of a virus scan adapter. This is the
case, for example, if the required operating system for SAP NetWeaver is not
compatible with the external anti-virus product. In this case, use a virus scan server.
The virus scan server communicates with the J2EE Engine using TCP/IP (SAP RFC
protocol) and accesses the external anti-virus product using a virus scan adapter.
•
Virus scan adapter or virus scan server for an integrated installation (Java and
ABAP):
Both purely-Java installations provide the same interface to instancejava from the
package com.sap.security.core.server.vsi.api.
The configuration of the virus scan provider service is stored in the Configuration
Manager of the J2EE Engine. You can use the Visual Administrator for graphical
administration.
Prerequisites: You are an administrator of the J2EE Engine.
Virus Scan Adapter for a Purely-Java Installation
After you have installed an external anti-virus product including a certified adapter, you
only need to enter the path to the adapter specified in the documentation for the partner
product in the VSA_LIB field.
Virus Scan Server for a Purely-Java Installation
Start the standalone gateway.
Start the virus scan server with the options -a, -x, and -g, as described in
Installing a Virus Scan Server as a Self-Starter
program ID using the naming convention (case-sensitive; prefix VSCAN_).
In the Visual Administrator, set up the virus scan provider as a virus scan server, as
described in
Avira GmbH
Define a Virus Scan Provider
- Specify exactly the program ID that you defined above under option –a as the
name. However, you must omit the name prefix VSCAN_, since this is added
automatically.
