Step 5. Configuring the connection between Kaspersky Security and SQL database

To configure a connection to link Kaspersky Security to an SQL database:

  1. In the Name of SQL server field, specify the name (or IP address) of the computer with SQL server installed, and the name of the SQL server instance, for example, MYCOMPUTER\SQLEXPRESS.

    Click the Browse button opposite the Name of SQL server field to select the SQL server in the network segment in which the computer is located.

    If the connection is to a remote SQL server, make sure that the SQL server is enabled to support TCP/IP as a client protocol.

  2. In the Database name field, specify the name of the database where the application will store Backup data, statistics, and application configuration details.

    If you install Kaspersky Security on a farm of SharePoint servers, make sure that all servers with the installed application use one and the same SQL database. To this end, identical values must be specified in the Name of SQL server and Database name fields when you install the application on all farm servers.

    The application can use one of the following databases:

    • The database created in advance by the SQL server administrator.
    • The database created automatically by the Setup Wizard installer.
    • The database used by the previous version of the application (version 9.1.45175) – if you are reinstalling or upgrading the application.

      After being reinstalled or updated, the application uses the contents of this database: runtime reports, statistics, setup information. The configuration includes application settings that were change during the reinstallation / update of the application.

  3. Select an account for use with the SQL server during installation of the application.
    • Current account. Current user account will be used then.
    • Other account. In this case, enter the name and password for the specified user account. You can also click the Browse button to select an account.

    The account must be assigned the necessary rights and sysadmin role on the SQL server specified in the Name of SQL server field.

  4. To finish the configuration and continue to the next step of the Setup Wizard, click the Next button.

Kaspersky Security does not provide channel encryption during data transmission between the server and the SQL database. To secure your data, manually encrypt data to be transmitted over communication channels.
