Check the file locking setting and enter in the necessary information in the fields provided. The server name, user name and password are required to provide access to file locking for the anti-virus software.
File locking is a mechanism that enforces access to a computer file for only one user or process at a time. The purpose of file locking is to allow GWAVA access to the messages in order for them to be scanned by the anti-virus and to be able to quarantine or remove the messages properly.
Enter in the server and context using Full Distinguished Name (FDN). A leading period is required in order to function properly. There are 2 ways to enter in this information:
a. Enter leading period, server name, and the container that the server is located. (.thisismyserver.servers)
b. Be more specific and enter the information in with this context: .cn=thisismyserver.ou=servers.o=gwava
