Kaspersky Lab 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>
