The web server information screen in the Trend Micro Apex Central setup program presents similar server identification options as the host ID definition screen: host name, FQDN, or IP address. The decision considerations for the web server name are the same:
  • Using the host name or FQDN facilitates Trend Micro Apex Central server IP address changes, but makes the system dependent on the DNS server
  • The IP address option requires a fixed IP
Use the web server address to identify the source of component updates. The SystemConfiguration.xml file stores this information and sends it to agents as part of a notification for these agents to obtain updates from the Trend Micro Apex Central server. Update source related settings appear as follows:
Value=http://Web server address>:port>/TvcsDownload/ActiveUpdate/component>
Where:
  • Port: The port that connects to the update source. You can also specify this on the web server address screen (default port number is 80)
  • TvcsDownload/ActiveUpdate: The Trend Micro Apex Central setup program creates this virtual directory in the IIS-specified website
  • Component: This depends on the updated component. For example, when the virus pattern file is updated, the value added here is:
    Pattern/vsapi.zip
    Pattern corresponds to the \\. . . Control Manager\WebUI\download\activeupdate\pattern folder on the Trend Micro Apex Central server. Vsapi.zip is the virus pattern in compressed form.
