ICAP DLP

The ability to configure ICAP DLP as a provider for FileCloud's CCE is available in Version 20.3 and higher.

ICAP DLP has been added as a provider for FileCloud's Smart Classification (CCE), enabling you set up a content classification rule that flags files for blocking or deletion by DLP rules. You must configure it as a third-party provider in FileCloud to use it with the CCE.

What is ICAP?

ICAP is a generic protocol that allows web servers to offload specialized tasks to custom-built servers. Examples of such specialized tasks include DLP (data loss prevention) based content scanning, URL filtering and antivirus scanning.

ICAP PortLeave the default value of 1344 or use 11344 for secure ICAP. In rare cases, this might need to be changed to whatever port the ICAP DLP server is listening on.
Secure ICAPEnable if the ICAP server is running with SSL or TLS protocols.
File Size LimitTo exclude very large files from scanning, specify the file size limit in bytes. Default value is 25MB.
