To create a Light Agent for Windows policy in the Administration Console:
On the Devices tab of the folder with the name of the administration group, you can view a list of protected virtual machines that belong to this administration group.
You can also start the wizard using the New → Policy option in the context menu of the policy list.
Proceed to the next step of the wizard.
You can migrate the settings from a policy that was created in Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 4.0 Light Agent or a later version of the application.
Proceed to the next step of the wizard.
To import settings, click the Select button and, in the Please select a configuration file window that opens, select a file with the .cfg extension. The path to the configuration file is shown in the Configuration file field.
You can use a configuration file created only by Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 5.2 Light Agent application version.
You can edit these settings imported from the configuration file at subsequent steps of the Policy Wizard.
Proceed to the next step of the wizard.
You can perform the following actions:
If you want to allow editing of control component settings through the local interface, select this component in the list and click the Open button located above the list of components, or click the lock icon to the left of the component name.
If the editing of component settings via the local interface is blocked, Kaspersky Security uses the policy-configured component operation settings on all protected virtual machines. If editing of component settings through the local interface is allowed, Kaspersky Security uses the local component settings instead of the settings configured in the policy.
Proceed to the next step of the wizard.
You can perform the following actions:
If you want to allow editing of protection component settings through the local interface, select this component in the list and click the Open button located above the list of components, or click the lock icon to the left of the component name.
If the editing of component settings via the local interface is blocked, Kaspersky Security uses the policy-configured component operation settings on all protected virtual machines. If editing of component settings through the local interface is allowed, Kaspersky Security uses the local component settings instead of the settings configured in the policy.
Proceed to the next step of the wizard.
If the address is specified as a NetBIOS name, localhost or 127.0.0.1, connection to the Integration Server completes with an error.
If the device hosting Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console does not belong to a domain or your account does not belong to the local or domain KLAdmins group or to the group of local administrators, when proceeding to the next step of the wizard specify the Integration Server administrator password (password of the admin account) in the window that opens.
The New Policy Wizard checks the SSL certificate received from the Integration Server. If the certificate contains an error or is not trusted, the Integration Server certificate verification window opens. You can view the details of the certificate received. If there are problems with the SSL certificate, it is recommended to make sure that the utilized data transfer channel is secure. To continue connecting to the Integration Server, click the Ignore button. The received certificate will be installed as a trusted certificate on the device where the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console is installed.
If you selected the Use a custom list of SVM addresses option and the extended SVM selection algorithm is used, the value of the SVM path parameter in the SVM selection algorithm section must be set to Ignore SVM path. If any other value is set, the Light Agents will not be available to connect to SVM.
Proceed to the next step of the wizard.
If the check box is selected, files, folders, and processes recommended for these applications are included in the trusted zone, and the executable files of these applications are automatically added to the list of trusted applications.
Proceed to the next step of the wizard.
To ensure that Kaspersky Security can operate on a virtual machine that uses Windows Terminal Services technology, you must clear the Start the local application interface check box.
If you use Light Agent in a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) with Microsoft Windows desktop operating system, you are advised to clear the Start the local application interface check box to improve virtual infrastructure performance.
Proceed to the next step of the wizard.
Proceed to the next step of the wizard.
The created policy will be displayed in the list of policies of the administration group on the Policies tab and in the Policies folder of the console tree.
The policy will be applied to protected virtual machines after the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server relays the information to Kaspersky Security. Kaspersky Security starts protecting virtual machines according to the policy settings.
If Network Agent is not running on a protected virtual machine, the created policy is not applied on this protected virtual machine.
If you chose the Inactive policy option during the previous step of the New Policy Wizard, the created policy is not applied on the protected virtual machines.
