Overview

ICAP Profiles provide a means to customize the processing of files by the ICAP Server and manage CDR. Simultaneous activation of multiple ICAP Profiles is supported but each incoming RESPMOD or REQMOD request is assigned precisely one profile.

Profile

Status

The status property determines whether the ICAP Server should proceed with utilizing the specified profile. When set to false, the profile is deactivated, and the request will result in a failure, accompanied by an error message.

Profile Settings

Content Management Policy

The ProfileSettings.ContentManagementPolicy property represents a named policy within Halo. This policy will be applied to all content within RESPMOD and REQMOD requests. If the specified ContentManagementPolicy does not exist during processing, requests will fall back to using the default profile.

The Content Management Policy labeled as 'default' is allocated to the default profile.

ProcessingRulesDefault

ProfileSettings.ProcessingRulesDefault determines which action the ICAP Server should take when it encounters an unrecognized MIME/Content-Type. An unrecognized content type refers to one that is not part of the ProcessingRules collection.

ProcessingRules

ProfileSettings.ProcessingRules is a collection of rules to be applied to a RESPMOD or REQMOD request. The rules can contain custom MIME/Content-Types.

When ICAP Server matches the Content-Type of a REQMOD or RESPMOD request, it will decide what to do with the content depending on the value of the rule:

The Default Profile

When ICAP is installed in Halo, a default ICAP Profile will be created and persisted on first start-up. This profile is set to process all supported content types by default, and block unrecognised content types.

Resetting your profile from Release 2.5.4 ensures it will include the new Media Types.
