Setting up Cisco CE ICAP Servers

IWSVA supports Cisco ICAP servers (CE version 5.1.3, b15). All ICAP settings are performed through a command line interface (CLI); there is no user interface associated with the Cisco ICAP implementation.

To set up Cisco CE ICAP servers:

  1. Open the Cisco CE console.

  2. Type config to enter the configuration mode.

  3. Type icap? to display a list of all ICAP-related commands.

  4. Create a response modification service, by typing:

icap service RESPMOD SERVICE NAME

This takes you into the ICAP service configuration menu.

  1. Type ? to display a list of all available commands.

  2. Type the following commands:

server icap://ICAP SERVER IP:1344/resp (to assign a server type)

vector-point respmod-precache  (to assign the proper vector point type)

error-handling return-error (to assign the proper error-handling type)

enable  (to enable the ICAP multiple server configuration)

  1. Type exit.

  2. Create a request modification service, by typing

icap service REQUESTMOD SERVICE NAME

This command takes you into the ICAP service configuration menu.

  1. Type ? to display a list of all available commands.

  2. Issue the following commands:

server icap://ICAP SERVER IP:1344/REQ-Service  (to assign a server type)

vector-point reqmod-precache (to assign the proper vector point type)

error-handling return-error  (to assign the proper error-handling type)

enable (to enable the ICAP multiple server configuration)

  1. Type exit.

  2. For additional configuration steps, type the following:

icap append-x-headers x-client-ip (to enable X-client headers for reports)

icap append-x-headers x-server-ip (to enable X-server headers for reports)

icap rescan-cache ISTag-change (to turn on ISTAG rescan for updates)
