Chapter 32 Configuring the ASA CSC Module

CSC SSM Setup Wizard

Step 3 Set parameters of the DNS servers for the network that includes the management IP address of the CSC SSM.

Enter the IP address of the primary DNS server.

(Optional) Enter the IP address of the secondary DNS server, if configured.

Step 4 (Optional) Enter parameters for an HTTP proxy server, used by the CSC SSM to contact a CSC SSM software update server. If your network configuration does not require the CSC SSM to use a proxy server, leave the fields in this group blank.

Enter the IP address of the proxy server, if configured.

Enter the listening port of the proxy server, if configured.

What to Do Next

See the “Host/Notification Settings” section on page 32-12.

Host/Notification Settings

The Host/Notification Settings pane lets you configure details about hostname, domain name, e-mail notifications, and a domain name for e-mail to be excluded from detailed scanning.

To configure host and notification settings, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Choose Configuration > Trend Micro Content Security > CSC Setup > Host/Notification Settings. Step 2 In the Host and Domain Names area, set the hostname and domain name of the CSC SSM.

Step 3 In the Incoming E-mail Domain Name area, set the trusted incoming e-mail domain name for SMTP-based e-mail. The CSC SSM scans SMTP e-mail sent to this domain. The types of threats that the CSC SSM scans for depend on the license that you purchased for the CSC SSM and the configuration of the CSC SSM software.

Note CSC SSM lets you configure a list of many incoming e-mail domains. ASDM displays only the first domain in the list. To configure additional incoming e-mail domains, access the CSC SSM interface. To do so, choose Configuration > Trend Micro Content Security > CSC Setup > Mail, and then click one of the links. After logging in to the CSC SSM, choose Mail (SMTP) > Configuration, and then click the Incoming Mail tab.

Step 4 Configure the following settings for e-mail notification of events:

The administrator e-mail address for the account to which notification e-mails should be sent.

The IP address of the SMTP server.

The port to which the SMTP server listens.

The e-mail address(es) for the product license renewal to which notification e-mails should be sent. Separate multiple e-mail addresses with semicolons. The maximum number of characters allowed for e-mail addresses is 1024. Make sure that the specified e-mail addresses are valid.
