Server connection settings window

In this window, you can configure general settings for connecting to KATA servers, add a server certificate, and configure two-way authentication when connecting to KATA servers.

KATA server connection settings

Setting

Description

Send a synchronization request to the KATA server every (minutes)

Frequency of sending synchronization requests to the KATA server in minutes.

The default value is 5.

Maximum time to wait for the server connection (sec)

Maximum time to wait for a connection to the KATA server in seconds.

The default value is 10.

Allow sending telemetry

Enables or disables sending data about events on devices (telemetry) to the KATA server.

Sending telemetry is enabled by default.

Server certificate

After adding the server certificate, information about the certificate is displayed:

  • certificate serial number
  • certificate subject
  • certificate issuer
  • certificate issue date
  • certificate expiration date

Select

Opens a standard file selection window where you can specify the path to the KATA server certificate.

If a server certificate has been added, the server certificate is verified on the Kaspersky Endpoint Security side. This elevates the security of the connection.

Remove

Deletes the server certificate added previously.

The button is displayed only if a server certificate has been added.

Additional connection protection

The settings section lets you enable or disable two-way authentication when connecting to the KATA server and add a client certificate.

Use two-factor authentication

Enables or disables the use of two-way authentication to further secure the connection to the KATA server.

Two-way authentication must be enabled on the KATA server side.

To use two-factor authentication, you need to add a client certificate.

Add client certificate

Opens a standard file selection window where you can specify the path to the cryptocontainer (PFX archive) with the client certificate and private key.

The button is available if the Use two-factor authentication checkbox is selected.

Edit

Allows you to specify the password for the cryptocontainer with the client certificate. The Cryptocontainer password field cannot be edited. By default, the password is empty.

To specify a password, click Edit. In the window that opens, enter the password and click OK. Clicking the Show button in the window displays the password in clear text in the password entry window.

It is recommended to make sure that the password complexity and anti-bruteforce mechanisms ensure that the password cannot be guessed within 6 months.

The button is available if the Use two-factor authentication checkbox is selected.
