Importing a security policy from a file

You can import application settings from a file containing a saved security policy. For this kind of import, you can use a file that was obtained when exporting a security policy.

When importing security policy sections, the application first clears the current contents of these sections and then imports data into these sections.

If a file contains multiple sections of a security policy, you can select the relevant sections to import.

A security policy cannot be imported if updates are currently being installed or if another import process is running.

Only users with the Administrator role can import a security policy from a file.

To import a security policy from a file:

1. Connect to the Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks Server through the web interface using the Administrator account.
2. Select Settings → Security policy.
3. Click the Import button.

   This opens the standard browser window for selecting a file.

4. Specify the path to the security policy file.
5. Click the button for opening the file.

   After the file contents are checked, you will see a security policy tree showing the sections that can be imported.

6. Select the check boxes for the security policy sections that you want to import into the application.
7. Click the Import button.

The security policy import process begins. The application Server is unavailable for connections until the import process is complete. During the import process, the application web interface page displays a special section named Application maintenance.
