When you create or use the task for downloading updates to the Administration Server repository, you can choose the following sources of updates:
This resource applies to tasks created for a secondary or virtual Administration Server.
In the Download updates to the Administration Server repository task and the Download updates to the repositories of distribution points task, user authentication does not work if you select a password-protected local or network folder as an update source. To resolve this issue, first mount the password-protected folder, and then specify the required credentials, for example, by means of the operating system. After that, you can select this folder as an update source in an update download task. Kaspersky Security Center Linux will not require that you enter the credentials.
Kaspersky update servers are used by default, but you can also download updates from a local or network folder. You might want to use the folder if your network does not have access to the internet. In this case, you can manually download updates from Kaspersky update servers and put the downloaded files in the necessary folder.
You can specify only one path to a local or network folder. As a local folder, you must specify a folder on the device where Administration Server is installed. As a network folder, you can use an FTP or HTTP server or an SMB share. If an SMB share requires authentication, it must be mounted in the system with the required credentials in advance. We recommend not using the SMB1 protocol since it is insecure.
If you add both Kaspersky update servers and the local or network folder, updates will be downloaded first from the folder. In the case of an error when downloading, Kaspersky update servers will be used.
