After the Server is installed using the script for centralized installation or another method, the application awaits completion of initial configuration. Initial configuration can be completed by any user connected to the Server through the web interface.

To perform initial configuration of the application after a Server is installed:

  1. Connect to the Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks Server through the web interface. Use the IP address of the Server computer for the connection.
  2. Select Initial configuration.
  3. In the Application localization language field, select the localization language for components of Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks (and for the data provided by these components).
  4. In the Administrator account settings group, define the user account name and password for the first application user. The Administrator role will be assigned to this user. This user does not have to be registered as an operating system account on the Server computer or other computer.

    For the account name, you can enter any unique name using uppercase and lowercase letters of the English alphabet, numerals, dots, and the following special characters: _ and - (for example, Admin_1). The name must contain from 3 to 20 characters, must begin with a letter, and end with any supported character except a dot.

    The password must meet the following requirements:

    • Must contain between 8 and 256 ASCII characters.
    • Must contain one or more uppercase letters of the English alphabet.
    • Must contain one or more lowercase letters of the Latin alphabet.
    • Must contain one or more numerals.
    • Must contain no more than three consecutive repeated characters.
  5. In the Application Server field, enter the name of the Server used in Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity.

    The Server name must be unique (not match the names of sensors on other nodes) and must contain no more than 100 characters. You can use letters of the English alphabet, numerals, a space, and the following special characters: _ and - (for example, Server_1). The Server name must begin and end with any permitted character except a space.

  6. Please read the terms of the End User License Agreement and the Privacy Policy. To do so, open each document by using the corresponding links in the names of the following check boxes: I confirm that I have fully read, understand, and accept the terms and conditions of this End User License Agreement and I am aware and agree that my data will be handled and transmitted (including to third countries) as described in the Privacy Policy. I confirm that I have fully read and understand the terms of the Privacy Policy.
  7. If you fully agree to the terms of the End User License Agreement and the Privacy Policy, select both check boxes.

    If you do not agree to the terms of the End User License Agreement and/or the Privacy Policy, close the web interface page and remove the installed application components from your computers.

  8. Click the Continue button.

After the defined settings are applied, the web interface page will open to the normal operating mode of the application. The account credentials of the first application user will be used for the current connection session.

You can revert the Server to the initial state using the kics4net-reset-to-defaults.sh script. The script is located on the computer with the installed application component in the /opt/kaspersky/kics4net/sbin/ folder.
