12 A TCP connection must be set up to use the ClamAV-daemon service to scan the uploaded files.

14
15 Uploaded files can be checked for viruses via the plug-in. For this purpose, this plugin is required as an activated system plugin and a running ClamAV-daemon service that can be accessed via TCP.
16
17 After this plugin has been installed, it must be configured. The configuration consists of specifying which {{smallcaps}}host:port{{/smallcaps}} combination is to be used. Furthermore, the transfer can be done with a {{smallcaps}}InputStream{{/smallcaps}} or working straight on the path.

21 {{figure image="en_error.png" width="400"}}
22 If no connection can be established to the specified host, this message is displayed.
23 {{/figure}}
24
25 The following configuration parameters exist:
26
27 ; host (Required)
28 : Host name or IP address of the server running ClamAV-daemon. The standard port is {{smallcaps}}127.0.0.1{{/smallcaps}}, since ClamAV-daemon should be running on the same server as {{formcycle/}}.
29 ; port (Required)
30 : The default port of ClamAV-daemon is {{smallcaps}}3310{{/smallcaps}}. If the port is different, it must be specified here.
31 ; file-source
32 : By default, the element to be checked is transferred via Java's {{smallcaps}}InputStream{{/smallcaps}}. If the value {{smallcaps}}path{{/smallcaps}} is entered here, the path is used directly - whereby the ClamAV-daemon service must have root rights.
33
34 After saving, a ping test is automatically executed. If this fails, a corresponding message is displayed. In this case, all uploads in the backend or in the form are marked as faulty - the plugin should first be deactivated and a functioning connection established.

36 == ClamAV settings ==
37
38 The following section discusses important configuration steps of ClamAV-Daemon. Our recommended scenario is to install {{formcycle/}} and the ClamAV-Daemon service on the same server.
39
40 Since the actual virus scanning takes place separately from {{formcycle/}}, take care to keep the virus signature database up-to-date via {{smallcaps}}freshclam{{/smallcaps}}.
41
42 This plugin transmits the elements to be examined via TCP, which is deactivated by default in ClamAV-daemon. To enable it, the configuration file: {{smallcaps}}/etc/clamav/clamd.conf{{/smallcaps}} has to be edited.
43
44 The following parameters have to be added to the file:
45
46 ; TCPAddr (Required)
47 : Shall be added and specified with the value {{smallcaps}}127.0.0.1{{/smallcaps}}.
48 ; TCPSocket (Required)
49 : Shall be added and specified with the value {{smallcaps}}3310{{/smallcaps}} or different, if the port is occupied.
50 ; User
51 : By default this is {{smallcaps}}clamav{{/smallcaps}} and has to be changed to {{smallcaps}}root{{/smallcaps}} to give root rights to the ClamAV-daemon service.
52
53 {{figure image="en_tcp_test.png"}}
54 With the help of {{smallcaps}}netstat{{/smallcaps}} the TCP socket of the ClamAV-daemon service can be examined.
55 {{/figure}}
56
57 In order for this plugin to address the ClamAV-daemon service, the service has to be listening in the right place - in this case at {{smallcaps}}127.0.0.1:3310{{/smallcaps}}. This can be checked by the following command in the terminal:
58
59 {{code language="shell"}}
60 sudo netstat -anp | grep -E "(clam)"
