Deployment: ICAP Settings

Deploying in ICAP Mode requires addition configuration settings.

IWSVA can return four optional headers from the ICAP server whenever a virus is found or for information about users and groups. "X-Virus-ID" and "X-Infection-Found" are not returned by default for performance reasons, because many ICAP clients do not use these headers. They must be enabled in the IWSVA Web console.

For more details on the parameter values, see:
