new threats and will not be used for any other purpose.
In order to activate the Samples Submission System, the samples submission system cache must be initialized. This
can be achieved by enabling the 'samples_enabled' option in the [global] section of the ESETS configuration file. To
allow for the actual delivery of samples to the ESET virus laboratory servers, the parameter 'samples_send_period'
must also be specified in the same section.
In addition, users can choose to provide the ESET virus laboratory team with supplementary information using the
'samples_provider_mail' and/or 'samples_provider_country' configuration options. The information collected using
these options will assist in providing the ESET team with an overview about a given infiltration which may be
spreading over the Internet.
For more information on the Samples Submission System, refer to the esets_daemon(8) man page.

6.5 Web Interface

The Web Interface allows user-friendly configuration, administration and license management of ESET Security
systems. This module is a separate agent and must be explicitly enabled. To quickly configure the Web Interface, set the
following options in the ESETS configuration file and restart the ESETS daemon:
[wwwi]
agent_enabled = yes
listen_addr = address
listen_port = port
username = name
password = pass
Replace the text in italics with your own values and direct your browser to 'https://address:port' (note the https).
Login with 'username/password'. Basic usage instructions can be found on the help page and technical details about
esets_wwwi can be found on the esets_wwwi(1) man page.
The web interface allows you to remotely access the ESETS daemon and deploy it easily. This powerful utility makes
it easy to read and write configuration values.
