Managed File Transfer Streams
You need a security dongle inserted in the server which configuration you want to change, RED or BLUE.
Prerequisites
Before you configure any transfer parameters:
- Ensure MetaDefender Optical Diode BLUE and MetaDefender Optical Diode RED network addresses are configured.
- Ensure the current license and personality are uploaded.
- If you are integrating the Managed File Transfer Stream with a Kiosk instance, configure Kiosk to work with the built in MetaDefender Core instance in MetaDefender Optical Diode BLUE. To do so, consult https://docs.opswat.com/mdkiosk/configuration/configuring-with-metadefender-core
- Configure Kiosk instance to work with a Managed File Transfer instance. Notice that instead of Managed File Transfer url you should indicate MetaDefender Optical Diode BLUE ip address, https://docs.opswat.com/mdkiosk/configuration/configuring-with-metadefender-vault
- You may need to generate API keys in Managed File Transfer to integrate with MetaDefender Optical Diode and Kiosk, to do so consult https://docs.opswat.com/mdvault/configuration/api-keys
This should be configured in both sides BLUE and RED. Each of the sides have their own management UI.
