Dr.Web HTTPD

The Dr.Web HTTPD component provides infrastructure for local and remote interaction with Dr.Web Mail Security Suite via HTTP (for example, using a web browser).

In addition to managing Dr.Web Mail Security Suite via the Dr.Web web interface, you can also use a command-line interface (HTTP API) of Dr.Web HTTPD directly to interact with Dr.Web Mail Security Suite components via HTTPS. This capability allows you to create your own interface to manage Dr.Web Mail Security Suite.

The HTTP API of Dr.Web HTTPD is described in the corresponding section.

To use a secure HTTPS connection, it is required to provide a valid SSL server certificate and private key for Dr.Web HTTPD. By default, a server certificate and an SSL private key are generated for Dr.Web HTTPD automatically during the installation procedure, but, if necessary, you can generate your own certificate and key. In addition, a user personal authorization certificate signed by a certificate issued by a certificate authority and trusted by Dr.Web HTTPD can be used for automatic client authorization when connecting to Dr.Web HTTPD.

To generate keys and certificates, you can use the openssl utility. Examples of using the openssl utility to generate certificates and private keys are provided in the Appendix E. Generating SSL Certificates section.
