The first step in configuring the Mirror is to select the Create
update mirror option. Selecting this option activates other Mirror
configuration options such as the way update files will be accessed
and the update path to the mirrored files.
The methods of Mirror activation are described in detail in section
4.4.1.2.4.1, “Updating from the Mirror”. For now, note that there are two
basic methods for accessing the Mirror – the folder with update files
can be presented as a shared network folder or as an HTTP server.
The folder dedicated to storing update files for the Mirror is defined
in the Folder to store mirrored files section. Click Folder… to
browse for a folder on the local computer or shared network folder.
If authorization for the specified folder is required, authentication
data must be supplied in the Username and Password fields. The
username and password should be entered in the format Domain/
User or Workgroup/User. Please remember to supply the corresponding
passwords.
When configuring the Mirror, you can also specify the language
versions for which you want to download update copies. Language
version setup is accessible in the section Files ‑ Available versions:.
4.4.1.2.4.1 Updating from the Mirror
There are two basic methods of configuring the Mirror – the folder
with update files can be presented as a shared network folder or as an
HTTP server.
Accessing the Mirror using an internal HTTP server
This configuration is the default, specified in the predefined program
configuration. In order to allow access to the Mirror using the HTTP
server, navigate to Advance update setup (the Mirror tab) and select
the Create update mirror option.
In the Advanced setup section of the Mirror tab you can specify
the Server Port where the HTTP server will listen as well as the type
of Authentication used by the HTTP server. By default, the Server
port is set to 2221. The Authentication option defines the method
of authentication used for accessing the update files. The following
options are available: NONE, Basic, and NTLM. Select Basic to use the
base64 encoding with basic username and password authentication.
The NTLM option provides encoding using a safe encoding method.
For authentication, the user created on the workstation sharing the
update files is used. The default setting is NONE, which grants access
to the update files with no need for authentication.
Warning: If you want to allow access to the update files via the HTTP
server, the Mirror folder must be located on the same computer as the
ESET Smart Security instance creating it.
After configuration of the Mirror is complete, go to the workstations
and add a new update server in the format http://IP_address_of_
your_server:2221. To do this, follow the steps below:
• Open ESET Smart Security Advanced Setup and click the Update
branch.
• Click Edit… to the right of the Update server drop‑down menu
and add a new server using the following format: http://IP_
address_of_your_server:2221.
• Select this newly‑added server from the list of update servers.
Accessing the Mirror via system shares
First, a shared folder should be created on a local or a network device.
When creating the folder for the Mirror, you must provide “write”
access for the user who will save update files to the folder and “read”
access for all users who will update ESET Smart Security from the
Mirror folder.
Next, configure access to the Mirror in the Advanced update setup
section (Mirror tab) by disabling the Provide update files via internal
HTTP server option. This option is enabled by default in the program
install package.
If the shared folder is located on another computer in the network,
you must specify authentication data to access the other computer. To
specify authentication data, open ESET Smart Security Advanced Setup
(F5) and click the Update branch. Click the Setup... button and then
click the LAN tab. This setting is the same as for updating, as described
in section 4.4.1.2.3, “Connecting to LAN”.
After the Mirror configuration is complete, proceed to the
workstations and set \\UNC\PATH as the update server. This operation
can be completed using the following steps:
• Open ESET Smart Security Advanced Setup and click Update
• Click Edit... next to the Update server and add a new server using
the \\UNC\PATH format.
• Select this newly‑added server from the list of update servers
NOTE: For proper functioning, the path to the Mirror folder must be
specified as a UNC path. Updates from mapped drives may not work.
