Images to be scanned before upload into the MediaBin Server

wajeeth

Hi,

This is Wajeeth and i have one clarification about the mediabin.

My scenario is that when i have to upload the image from the Mediabin web client to the Mediabin Server, it should scan for the virus. If virus has been found in the image, it should not move to the Mediabin Server otherwise, it can upload the file to Server.

My idea is better move the files from hot folder to the temporary registry and then scan the files in the temporary registry itself and if the virus has been found, it will be routed into the source place,otherwise routed to the target place(Mediabin Server).

Can any one suggest me in this regards and tell me whether the above idea is right and tell me about the customization part and how to scan it, otherwise please suggest the alternative?

Yes, basically you would need three folders:

Quarantine (scanned by virus scanner)
Good (watched by a MediaBin Hot Folder)
Bad

You would insert files into Quarantine and then you need a way to either periodically or n a scheduled basis scan the contents and copy files either to Good or Bad. Copying to Good would trigger MediaBin to ingest the file via a Hot Folder.

The script running to look at Quarantine would be out of the control of MediaBin. The virus scanner vendors surely have something canned, but if not it should be pretty simple to implement.
