Enabling options in the policy of Kaspersky Endpoint Agent for Linux

When configuring default settings of a Kaspersky Endpoint Agent policy, setting values are saved but not applied until you enable them.

You can enable settings by enabling groups in which the settings reside. In one policy you can enable some groups of settings or all groups of settings.

To enable a group of settings in the Kaspersky Endpoint Agent policy:

1. Open the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console.
2. In the console tree, open the Policies folder.

      Kaspersky Endpoint Agent does not encrypt the connection with the proxy server. You must take steps to make sure the network connection between your proxy server and Kaspersky Endpoint Agent is secure.
