How can I add my own MetaDefender API servers to scan threats on devices?
This article applies to the current MetaDefender IT-OT Access Console, supported versions of the MetaDefender Core API, and all MetaDefender Endpoint releases deployed on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS systems.
If you or your organization have already deployed OPSWAT MetaDefender Core servers, you now have the option to integrate (add) these servers to MetaDefender IT-OT Access to enable threat scanning of all your managed devices.
To do so, please follow the instructions below.
- Log into your MetaDefender IT-OT Access Console, then navigate to Settings>Global>MetaDefender Servers.
- Click the Add Server button, as illustrated below.
In the pop-up, fill the required information into the fields provided, as illustrated below, including:
- Name: the name of the server, for your own reference purposes.
- API Key: the API key associated with your server.
- Server Address: your MetaDefender server’s URL.
- Once all the fields are filled, click the ADD button to apply your changes, then click Save, to save all of the changes you’ve applied.
If you click the TEST CONNECTION button, MetaDefender IT-OT Access will try to connect to your server.
If your server can be reached via the internet, the test will be successful. If your server cannot be reached online, the test will be unsuccessful.
The most important thing, however, is that the managed devices from which you intend to scan files are able to connect to the server.
- Finally, confirm with your PIN, as prompted.
