    1. That belongs to the role the Core side rule is restricted to;
    2. And the user has an API key generated.
  2. In Email Security the Core is added to a server profile

Workflow

Right after the CORE URI ADDRESS has been specified, and is valid (connection can be established) the WORKFLOW drop-down list is populated with the available workflow on the corresponding MetaDefender Core instance.

The desired workflow may be selected from the configured Core's available rules. Default is Automatic.

Pleaf the security rules on the configured MetaDefender Core under Policy > Security rules are limited to a specific user agent other than mdicapserver or restricted to specific roles other than what is specified in the server URI, then those workflow will not be available in MetaDefender ICAP Server.

MetaDefender ICAP Server identifies itself on MetaDefender Core with the user agent mdicapserver.

On the example below the Core rule File process with Kiosk and File process with SFT are not listed in ICAP Server as those rules are restricted to user agent kiosk and sft respectively.

Otherwise all unrestricted core rules are in the list.
