Configuring connection settings using Kaspersky Security Center

The configured connection settings are used to connect Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security for Windows to update and activation servers and during integration of applications with KSN services.

To configure the connection settings take the following steps:

1. Expand the Managed devices node in the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console tree.
2. Select the administration group for which you want to configure application settings.
3. Perform one of the following actions in the details pane of the selected administration group:
   • To configure application settings for a group of protected devices, select the Policies tab and open the Properties: <Policy name> window.
   • To configure the settings of a task or application for an individual protected device, select the Devices tab and go to local task settings or application settings.
4. In the Application settings section, click the Connections button in the Settings subsection.

   The Connection settings window opens.

5. In the Connection settings window, configure the following settings:
   • In the Proxy server settings section, select the proxy server usage settings:
     • Do not use proxy server
       

       If this option is selected, Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security for Windows connects to KSN services directly, without using any proxy server.

     • Use the specified proxy server
       

       If this option is selected, Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security for Windows connects to KSN using proxy server settings specified manually.

     • IP address or symbolic name of the proxy server and the port number
     • Do not use proxy server for local addresses.
       

       This check box enables or disables the use of a proxy server when accessing devices located in the same network as the protected device with Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security for Windows installed.

       If this check box is selected, devices are accessed directly from the network that hosts the protected device with Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security for Windows installed. No proxy server is used.

       If the check box is cleared, a proxy server is used to connect to local devices.

       The check box is selected by default.

   • In the Proxy server authentication settings section, specify the authentication settings:
     • Select the authentication settings in the drop-down list.
       • Do not use authentication – authentication is not performed. The mode is selected by default.
       • Use NTLM authentication – authentication is performed using the NTLM network authentication protocol developed by Microsoft.
       • Use NTLM authentication with user name and password – authentication is performed with a user name and password using the NTLM network authentication protocol developed by Microsoft.
       • Apply user name and password – authentication is performed using the user name and password.
     • Enter the user name and password, if needed.
   • In the Licensing section, clear or select the Use Kaspersky Security Center as a proxy server when activating the application.
