    I found this document (BlueCoat is now Symantec, as far as I know):

     

     

    Besides the normal ASM configuration for ICAP, you also have to make sure some system variables matches your antivirus solution:

     

    Security > Options > Application Security > Advanced Configuration > System Variables

     

    Check icap_uri and virus_healder_name.

     

    Here is the F5 solution about that:

     

    https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K70941653

     

    What F5 support meant, probably, is that they don't know those settings for all antivirus vendors. The system is setup to McAfee by default.

     

    I look this in the past, and there is no table with this settings per vendor.
