FlexNet Manager Suite
2024 R1
(On-Premises)
Once your choice of anti-virus scanner is correctly configured for integration with
FlexNet Manager Suite, you need to set values in the registry of your
web application server to change the default "off" to "on".
The registry keys identified below may have been created during installation/upgrade
of FlexNet Manager Suite, if that process was run by scripts using an
appropriately modified answer file. If the process was run interactively, these
registry keys may not yet exist. Document scanning is turned off when either the
registry key does not exist, or it exists and is set to false
.
Scanning is only turned on when the appropriate registry key exists, and its value
is true
.
To configure automatic scanning for uploaded documents:
-
On your web application server, use your preferred registry editor to check
(or complete) the setting for the following key/value pair.
This setting tells
FlexNet Manager Suite where to find the PowerShell
integration script. If you are using the recommended ClamAV tool, you should
have just set this value in
Configuring the Recommended AV. If you are
configuring your preferred anti-virus tool, ensure that this value points to
your customized PowerShell integration script.
- 64-bit registry key:
HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\Flexera
Software\FlexNet Manager
Platform\Security\CurrentVersion\FileUploadScannerPath
- Value type: string
- Example value:
C:\ClamAV\Filescanner_ClamAV.ps1
(the
absolute path and file name for the PowerShell integration script).
-
Create or update the following key/value pair to turn on document
scanning:
- 64-bit registry key:
HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\Flexera
Software\FlexNet Manager
Platform\Security\CurrentVersion\EnableFileUploadScan
- Value type: string, either
true
or
false
- Example value:
true
(required to turn on scanning of
uploaded documents).
-
To validate operations:
-
Log into the web interface of FlexNet Manager Suite as an
operator.
-
Navigate to the property sheet of an object such as a purchase record,
and choose the Documents tab.
-
Click Attach, and for Method of
attachment choose Document
upload.
-
Click Browse, select any file, and (watching
closely, because it might be quick) click
Upload.
Tip: If you have debug logs enabled, a message
Scanning file filename for
malicious content is logged for the
upload.
This completes registry configuration for document scanning.
