Configuring Connection Settings

Procedure

1. Go to Administration → IMSS Configuration → Connections.
   The Components tab appears by default.
2. Under Settings for All Scanners, specify the port number that IMSS uses to communicate with scanners.

   Note If the user does not set the port number or the firewall could not open this port, the managed server appears as disconnected in the System Status page. Furthermore, any changes will not take effect on the managed service(s).

3. Under Settings for All Policy Services, configure the following:
   • Policy service port: Specify the port number that IMSS uses to communicate with policy services. The default port number that the policy service uses to communicate with IMSS is 5060.
   • Protocol: Select the type of protocol the scanner uses to communicate with the policy service (HTTP or HTTPS).
   • Keep-alive: Select the check box to enhance policy retrieval by maintaining a constantly active connection between the scanner and policy services.
   • Maximum number of backlogged requests: Specify a number that represents the maximum number of requests IMSS will preserve until it can process them later.
4. Click Save.
