Installation and initial configuration of a Linux-based Integration Server

To install a Linux-based Integration Server on a device, you need to install the Integration Server package and perform the initial configuration of the Integration Server.

You can install from an RPM or DEB application package depending on the package manager of your operating system.

Before proceeding with the installation, you can configure the output of the Integration Server installation progress information to the console. To do this, set the environment variable LOG_VIIS_INSTALL=TRUE. The following information is output to the console: installation commands with options, the progress of the viis service configuration, paths to files and directories of the Integration Server being installed, information about configured permissions for these files and directories, information about whether required packages are present on the device, information about created users and groups, information about created certificates, certificate parameters and paths, error messages during installation. If the LOG_VIIS_INSTALL environment variable is not set or if it is set to a value other than TRUE, the Integration Server is installed in silent mode.

To install the Integration Server from a DEB package:

sudo apt-get install ./ksvla-viis_<build number>-<build number>_amd64.deb

To install the Integration Server from an RPM package:

sudo rpm -i ./ksvla-viis-<version number>-<build number>.x86_64.rpm

If the device does not have the required packages, they may be installed automatically during installation of the Integration Server, or a warning will be displayed about the need to install them.

After completing the installation of the Integration Server, you need to perform the initial configuration of the Integration Server.

To perform the initial configuration of the Integration Server:

  1. Run the following command:

    sudo /opt/kaspersky/viis/bin/viis-setup.sh

    The initial configuration script starts.

  2. When prompted by the script, do the following:
    1. Select the locale that will be used to display the End User License Agreement and Privacy Policy.
    2. Read the text of the End User License Agreement concluded between you and Kaspersky, and the Privacy Policy describing the handling and transmission of data. To continue the installation, you must confirm that you have fully read and accept the terms of the End User License Agreement and the Privacy Policy.

      Files with the text of the End User License Agreement and Privacy Policy are located in the directory /opt/kaspersky/viis/doc/EULA/<language identifier>/license.txt.

    3. Specify the port number to connect to the Integration Server.
    4. Create the password of the Integration Server administrator (admin) account. The admin account is used for the connection to the Integration Server using the Integration Server Web Console or when configuring the connection to the Integration Server in the Protection Server policy and in the Light Agent policy.

When the script ends and the console is no longer busy, the initial configuration process is complete. After the initial configuration is complete, the Integration Server starts and is ready to work.
