You can configure the application through the web interface of the Control node of the cluster. The new settings are automatically propagated to Secondary nodes.
The application configuration scenario consists of the following steps:
Perform this step if the node does not have direct Internet access for activating the application, updating databases, and interacting with Kaspersky.
Activate KSMG using an activation code or, if you do not have Internet access, add a license key using a key file.
If you do not have Internet access, configure application database updates via an update source located in the local network.
Wait for the update task to complete. Restart the operating system to apply the database update.
If you want to have access to Kaspersky Security Network reputation databases and other statistical data without sending data from your computers to Kaspersky Security Network, you can configure the use of Kaspersky Private Security Network.
Perform this step if the KATA application is deployed in your organization.
This step is required if you want personal and privileged users to use domain accounts.
Assign roles to users as necessary.
If the 'helpdesk' account was used in the previous version of the application, create a role with similar permissions: viewing messages in Backup, delivering messages from Backup, managing addresses in personal allow and deny lists.
Configure personal user account settings, personal Backup settings, and the personal Backup digest schedule.
When upgrading the application from a previous version, you can export rules and personal lists of users from the old version, and then import them into the new version.
To import settings, specify the path to the file obtained by exporting application settings from the previous version.
You must perform this step if data for importing rules does not exist or if you need additional rules.
