Field | Description |
|---|---|
Download URL | Specifies the location of the Juniper hosted server from which the signature database is downloaded to the CSO server. The default download URL is https://signatures.juniper.net/. To download signatures from this location, you need an internet connection to be available to CSO. In case CSO does not have an internet connection, you can download the signatures from a local source such as your laptop or any other web server connected through the intranet to CSO. To do this, enter the location from which you want to download the signatures in the Download URL field. In order to perform offline download of signature database or package, you must first download the signature database to a folder location on any webserver. You must also start a local web server to host the signature database. For more information on the locations to which you can download the signature database on various servers, see Download Locations for Signature Database. |
Signature Version | Note: The Signature Version field is enabled only when you change the value of Download URL from https://signatures.juniper.net/ to any other value. Enter the 4 digit numeric value of the signature database version. The value must only contain numbers and not have any special characters or negative values. |
Type | You can chose to download the signature database immediately or schedule the download for a later time and date.
