Configuring ICAP
These configuration settings are fully utilized when an ICAP server definition is referenced from a virtual path, i.e. when implicit scan is used.
When ICAP is referred from an ICAP Service Task (see Configuring Triggerable Service Tasks - ICAP), only connection parameters must be used.
Here is how to configure an ICAP server.
Go to Setup → ICAP and click on the NEW button. This will open the New ICAP page.
Insert and select the parameters that Data Mover needs to connect to the ICAP server. Remember that all parameters with an * are mandatory:

Once you have set all the necessary parameters, click Save and your ICAP server will appear in the list of results, where these columns are available:
Modified: this is the last time a server has been modified
ICAP: this is the name of the ICAP server
AV service: this is the name of the AV service associated with the ICAP server
DLP service: this is the name of the DLP service associated with the ICAP server
Host: this is the host name
The 3-dots icon at the end of each entry lets the user Edit and Delete the ICAP server. Learn how to use the toolbar at the top of the page here.
The results can be sorted by ICAP name in the Filters panel on the right side of the page.
The next step to configure an ICAP connection is to create a Mediation Contract.
