Using SRV Protocol

Clients under Windows OS support SRV client network protocol (format description is given in the Appendices document, p. Appendix E. The Specification of Network Addresses).

Accessing Dr.Web Server via the SRV records are implemented by the following way:

1.During the Dr.Web Server installation, registration in Active Directory domain is set up, installer registers corresponding SRV record on DNS server.

info

SRV record is registered on DNS server according to the RFC2782 (see https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2782).

2.When requesting connection to Dr.Web Server, a user specifies access via the srv protocol.

For example, to launch the Agent installer:

with explicit specification of the myservice service name:
drwinst /server "srv/myservice"

without specification of a service name. At this, SRV record with the drwcs default name will be searched.
drwinst /server "srv/"

3.Transparently for the user, the client uses the SRV protocol's features to access Dr.Web Server.

info

If Dr.Web Server is not specified directly, the drwcs is used by default as a name of the service.
