The first step in configuring the Mirror is to select the Create update mirror option. Selecting this option activates
other Mirror configuration options such as the way update files will be accessed and the update path to the mirrored
files.
Provide update files via the internal HTTP server – If enabled, update files can simply be accessed through HTTP and
no username and password is required here. Click Advanced setup... to configure extended mirror options.
The methods of Mirror activation are described in detail in section Updating from the Mirror. For now, note that there
are two basic methods for accessing the Mirror – the folder with update files can be presented as a shared network
folder or by an HTTP server.
The folder dedicated to storing update files for the Mirror is defined in the Folder to store mirrored files section. Click
Folder… to browse for a folder on the local computer or shared network folder. If authorization for the specified folder
is required, authentication data must be entered into the Username and Password fields. If the selected destination
folder is located on a network disk running the Windows NT/2000/XP operating system, the Username and Password
specified must have write privileges for the selected folder. The username and password should be entered in the
format Domain/User or Workgroup/User. Please remember to supply the corresponding passwords.
When configuring the Mirror, you can also specify the language versions for which you want to download update
copies that are currently supported by the mirror server configured by the user. Language version setup is accessible in
the Available versions list.
4.5.1.2.4.1 Updating from the Mirror
There are two basic methods of configuring the Mirror, the folder with update files can be presented as a shared
network folder or as an HTTP server.
Accessing the Mirror using an internal HTTP server
This configuration is the default, specified in the predefined program configuration. In order to allow access to the
Mirror using the HTTP server, navigate to Advanced update setup (click the Mirror tab) and select the Create update
mirror option.
In the Advanced setup section of the Mirror tab you can specify the Server port where the HTTP server will listen as
well as the type of Authentication used by the HTTP server. By default, the Server port is set to 2221. The
Authentication option defines the method of authentication used for accessing the update files. The following options
are available: NONE, Basic, and NTLM. Select Basic to use base64 encoding with basic username and password
authentication. The NTLM option provides encoding using a safe encoding method. For authentication, the user
created on the workstation sharing the update files is used. The default setting is NONE, which grants access to the
update files with no need for authentication.
Warning: If you want to allow access to the update files via the HTTP server, the Mirror folder must be located on the
same computer as the ESET Endpoint Security instance creating it.
