Edit Protector: Services tab

Use the Services tab to set protector services properties.

All services that have been configured for the protector are listed. The page shows whether each is enabled or disabled, its ports, a direction (inbound, outbound, or internal), and a description.

Click any service name to modify its settings. Click New to add a service.

Each protector can have only one service per port. One service can be removed from a port and a different one can be added, but no 2 services can run on the same port.

When the protector works in blocking mode, setting the direction is very important— in SMTP only outbound traffic should be analyzed. A misconfigured direction setting can cause the protector to send large amounts of data for analysis, degrading system performance. In addition, internal SMTP traffic (for example, between Exchange Servers) may be blocked by the system due to protocol incompatibility.

See Configuring protector services for details on configuring protector services. The channels that can be configured are:

• Protector: Configuring SMTP
• Protector: Configuring HTTP
• Protector: Configuring FTP
• Protector: Configuring plain text
