To enable the scanner to receive messages and also enhance the performance of rule lookups by the policy services, configure the connection settings.
To configure basic connection components:
Choose Administration > IMSA Configuration > Connections. The Components tab displays by default. If it does not display, click Components.
Under Settings for All Policy Services, configure the following:
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—Type a number that represents the maximum number of requests InterScan™ Messaging Security Appliance (IMSA) will preserve until it can process them later.
Click Save.
