Third-party software integration: Antivirus

OpenKM can check if a submitted document is infected. It works with an Open Source antivirus software called ClamAV. Edit OpenKM.cfg and add this line:

system.antivir=/path/to/clamscan

This screenshot shows an error message from OpenKM because the submitted document is infected by a virus:

To install ClamAV on Debian / Ubuntu distribution:

 $ sudo aptitude install clamav

To install ClamAV in Centos 5.2 you need more work. First create a file named /etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo with this content:

[dag]
name=Dag RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/dag/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://dag.wieers.com/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt
enabled=1

Now install the program as root:

$ yum install clamd.i386

Start the daemon:

$ /etc/init.d/clamd start

And update the virus database:

$ freshclam
