The emulation of the interface of the clamd anti-virus daemon included in the ClamAV anti-virus solution makes it possible to integrate Dr.Web ClamD with any external applications capable of connecting to the clamd anti-virus daemon.
The table below shows examples of applications that can use clamd for anti-virus scans:
Product
|
Integration
|
HTTP services
|
HTTP proxy server
Squid
|
Use of clamd
Scan files received from the internet.
Integration requirements
Use an intermediate component: squidclamav or HAVP.

Description and source code of squidclamav: https://squidclamav.darold.net/
|
HTTP proxy server that can perform anti-virus scans
HAVP
|
Use of clamd
Scan files received from the internet.
Integration requirements
Enable clamd for anti-virus scanning in the HAVP configuration file:
ENABLECLAMD true
CLAMDSOCKET <path_to_clamd_UNIX_socket>
|
or (if a TCP connection is used instead of a UNIX socket):
ENABLECLAMD true
CLAMDSERVER <IP>
CLAMDPORT <port>
|
where <path_to_clamd_UNIX_socket> or the <IP>:<port> pair corresponds to the socket of the endpoint configured in Dr.Web ClamD.

In the settings of the external software component that communicates directly with Dr.Web ClamD as with the clamd anti-virus daemon, specify a path to a UNIX socket or a TCP socket listened by Dr.Web ClamD at one of its endpoints set up in its configuration as an address for connecting to clamd.
Example of connecting HAVP to Dr.Web ClamD:
1.Dr.Web ClamD configuration:
[ClamD]
Start = yes
[ClamD.Endpoint.proxy]
ClamdSocket = /var/run/drweb.clamd
|
2.HAVP configuration:
ENABLECLAMD true
CLAMDSOCKET /var/run/drweb.clamd
|
Settings for connecting to other anti-virus products (ENABLE* parameters) must be set to false.
