Configuring integration with a mail server via POP3
If you are using the distributed solution and multitenancy mode, use the web interface of the PCN or SCN server for which you want to configure parameters.
Operation mode in which Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform is used to protect the infrastructure of multiple organizations or branch offices of the same organization simultaneously.
Two-level hierarchy of servers with Central Node components installed. This hierarchy allocates a primary control server (Primary Central Node (PCN)) and secondary servers (Secondary Central Nodes (SCN)).
To configure integration with a mail server over POP3:
Select the Sensor servers section in the window of the program web interface.
The Server list table will be displayed.
Select the Sensor component for which you want to configure integration with the mail server via POP3.
This opens the Sensor component settings page.
Select the POP3 integration section.
Set the toggle switch next to the State parameter to Enabled.
In the Mail server field, specify the IP address of the mail server with which you want to configure integration.
In the Port field, specify the port for connecting to the mail server.
In the Receive every field, specify the mail server connection frequency (in seconds).
If you want to use TLS encryption of connections with the mail server via POP3, select the Use TLS encryption check box.
In the User name field, specify the account name used for accessing the mail server.
In the Password field, specify the password for accessing the mail server.
Select one of the following options in the TLS certificate drop-down list:
Accept any.
Accept untrusted self-signed.
Accept only trusted.
When establishing a connection with an external mail server, it is recommended to configure the acceptance of only trusted TLS certificates. If you accept untrusted TLS certificates, protection of the connection against MITM attacks cannot be guaranteed. Even though the acceptance of trusted TLS certificates also cannot guarantee protection of the connection against MITM attacks, it is the most secure of the supported methods for integration with a mail server over the POP3 protocol.
Man in The Middle. An attack on the IT infrastructure of an organization in which a hacker hijacks the communication link between two access points, relays it, and modifies the connection between these access points if necessary.
If necessary, in the Cipher suite field, modify the OpenSSL settings used when establishing a connection with the mail server via POP3.
You can view reference information on OpenSSL by clicking the Help link.
Click Apply.
Integration with the mail server via POP3 will be configured.
