Download Attachments

When you download an attachment in CA SDM, it automatically displays the attachment in the browser window without prompting for a response from you. This action can be dangerous if a virus is associated with the attachment.

With CA SDM, you can force a save-as dialog that prompts you to respond if you want to save the attachment on the disk or open it. Saving an attachment can be a secure method because you can save the attachment on the disk and scan it before you can actually open it. You also have the option to force the save-as dialog only on certain attachment types.

You can force the save-as dialog to appear through the web.xml servlet configuration file. The web.xml file is located at the following paths:

Windows: $NX_ROOT\bopcfg\www\CATALINA_BASE\webapps\CAisd\WEB-INF\web.xml

Linux: $NX_ROOT is “/opt/CAisd”
