MANUAL.avwebgate

A new configuration file has been introduced, starting with WebGate v.3: 

/etc/avwebgate-scanner.conf

. It contains configuration options specific to the new 

scanner backend. Usually, you don't have to change the options in this file, but 
there might be a few exceptions.

User,

Group

If you change one of these options, you have to make sure that the files

avwebgate-scanner.conf

 and 

avwebgate.conf

 contain the same values for these 

options and that all directories and files are still accessible to this user.

You also have to adapt 

avwebgate-scanner.conf

 if you updated from a previous 

WebGate version (< 3.0.0) and the current settings for 

User/Group

 differ from 

the default settings. Defaults:

User 65534

Group antivir

In /etc/avwebgate-scanner.conf:
•

Change the owner/group of the path given with 

ListenAddress

 (NOTE: 

the option consists of a path and a socket file. Don't forget to stop WebGate 
before making any changes. If the socket file exists, delete it and only change 
the owner/group of the directory.)

•

Adapt the option 

SocketPermissions

 to the new user/group. See below.
