Configure the delivery of notifications about events registered during the operation of Kaspersky applications on client devices. These settings will be used as the default settings for application policies.
Configuring email notifications
To configure the delivery of notifications about events occurring in Kaspersky applications, use the following settings:
The email addresses of users to whom the application will send notifications. You can enter one or more addresses; if you enter more than one address, separate them with a semicolon.
Communication port number of the SMTP server. If you use several SMTP servers, the connection to them is established through the specified communication port. The default port number is 25.
Enables support of ESMTP authentication. When the check box is selected, in the User name and Password fields you can specify the ESMTP authentication settings. By default, this check box is cleared.
You can specify TLS settings of connection with an SMTP server:
Do not use TLS
You can select this option if you want to disable encryption of email messages.
Use TLS if supported by the SMTP server
You can select this option if you want to use a TLS connection to an SMTP server. If the SMTP server does not support TLS, Administration Server connects the SMTP server without using TLS.
Always use TLS, check server certificate validity
You can select this option if you want to use TLS authentication settings. If the SMTP server does not support TLS, Administration Server cannot connect the SMTP server.
We recommend that you use this option for better protection of the connection with an SMTP server. If you select this option, you can set authentication settings for a TLS connection.
If you select Always use TLS, check server certificate validity value, you can specify a certificate for authentication of the SMTP server and choose whether you want to enable communication through any version of TLS or only through TLS 1.2 or later versions. Also, you can specify a certificate for client authentication on the SMTP server.
You can specify certificates for a TLS connection by clicking the Specify certificates link:
Browse for an SMTP server certificate file:
You can receive a file with the list of certificates from a trusted certification authority and upload the file to Administration Server. Kaspersky Security Center checks whether the certificate of an SMTP server is also signed by a trusted certification authority. Kaspersky Security Center cannot connect to an SMTP server if the certificate of the SMTP server is not received from a trusted certification authority.
Browse for a client certificate file:
You can use a certificate that you received from any source, for example, from any trusted certification authority. You must specify the certificate and its private key by using one of the following certificate types:
X-509 certificate:
You must specify a file with the certificate and a file with the private key. Both files do not depend on each other and the order of loading of the files is not significant. When both files are loaded, you must specify the password for decoding the private key. The password can have an empty value if the private key is not encoded.
pkcs12 container:
You must upload a single file that contains the certificate and its private key. When the file is loaded, you must then specify the password for decoding the private key. The password can have an empty value if the private key is not encoded.
You can test the new email notification settings by clicking the Send test message button.
