Good morning,
We have 4 identical servers with a scheduled task running every night on
each of them. This task Stop Tomcat -> Update some data -> Start Tomcat.
This worked fine for months.
We have installed a new antivirus McAfee 3 weeks ago. Now the Tomcat7
service starts randomly. At least 1 of the 4 server needs a manual start of
the Tomcat7 service every morning.
Do you know if there is specifics problems between Tomcat and Mc Afee ?
We have already tried to exclude Tomcat.exe from McAfee scanning. Is
there other thing we could exclude without compromising the security ?
Configuration:
Windows server 2008 R2 Standard - SP1
Apache Tomcat 7.0.29 Server
McAffee Agent 4.8.0.1500
Mcafee VirusScan Enterprise 8.8.04001
Thanks, have a nice day,
Philippe Blachon.
Not a direct answer to your question, but maybe a bit of lateral and
logical thinking here :
Why would one run a virus scanner permanently on a Tomcat server ?
Does the OP work in the government? My former employer had virus scanning
software on every server. You couldn't get a server image without it.
The answer to that question is really based on policy, if he works in
government. Eventually, that server has the potential for getting a virus
somehow from something or someone, and someone has to answer the question:
"why wasn't there virus scanning software on the server?"
Leo, I understand what you're saying above.
But if one extrapolates that logic, then at some point the whole IT infrastructure and the
whole Internet would grind to a halt, as only the POTUS would be allowed to upload
anything onto a computer.
