Getting started

Kaspersky Anti-Virus starts automatically when the Lotus Domino server is launched. Anti-Virus protection starts after Kaspersky Anti-Virus is started. The KAVControl, KAVMonitor and KAVScanner modules are added to the list of loaded processes.

Before starting Kaspersky Anti-Virus, you have to activate the application on each server if it has not been activated during installation. Application functionality will remain limited until the application is activated.

When the application is first launched, an attempt is made to update the anti-virus databases. In this case, the default update settings are used (for example, the first update of anti-virus databases starts at 11 p.m. or after activation of the application). If the network configuration differs from the default option, the update will return an error. The error message is saved in the Event log and statistics database.

If the anti-virus database update returns an error, you are advised to adjust the update settings and run an anti-virus database update manually.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus settings are configured and operated via the Control Center's kavcontrolcenter.nsf database's interface. A standard Lotus Notes client or web browser is used to connect to the kavcontrolcenter.nsf database.

If a Lotus Notes client is used to operate the database, the security settings should be configured on the workstation which will be used to connect to the server.

There is no need to configure the security settings on the workstation used to install Kaspersky Anti-Virus since they were configured when preparing for installation.

To do so, add the account of the server used to sign elements of the Lotus Notes databases for Kaspersky Anti-Virus to the action control table and assign this account the following access rights and permissions to perform actions on this workstation:

• Access rights:
  • File system;
  • Current Lotus Notes database;
  • Environment variables;
  • External programs;
• Permissions:
  • Read other Notes databases;
  • Modify other Notes databases.

Security settings of the Lotus Notes client are configured on each workstation from which the Control Center database will be accessed.
