Integration with multiple servers of the KATA cluster

Only applicable when integrating with КАТА 5.0 or a later version.

Configuring the integration of Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway with multiple servers of the KATA cluster involves the following steps:

1. Preparing a configuration file for the built-in balancer
2. Configuring and running the built-in balancer on each cluster node of Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway
3. Adding a KATA server

   Specify 127.0.0.1:8000 as the address of the KATA server.

   When adding a KATA server, you must compare the certificate fingerprints displayed in the web interfaces of Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway and KATA. If the fingerprints match, the administrator confirms addition of the KATA server. Then the Control node sends the address and certificate of the KATA sever to all cluster nodes without waiting for authorization confirmation.

4. Configuring KATA protection settings

   You can configure the following settings:

   • Sending all messages to be scanned by KATA or only those messages in which nothing was detected after scans by all application modules.
   • Timeout for a response from the KATA server.
   • KATA Quarantine settings.
5. Authorization of Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway in the KATA web interface.

   When adding a KATA server, a request is sent for authorization of the external system. In the KATA web interface, the KATA administrator must confirm this request for authorization from each cluster node. For details about processing requests from external systems, please refer to the Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform Help Guide.

6. Checking the KATA server connection
