Server certificate |
After adding the server certificate, information about the certificate is displayed:
|
Select |
Opens a standard file selection window where you can specify the path to the KATA server certificate. If a server certificate has been added, the server certificate is verified on the Kaspersky Endpoint Security side. This elevates the security of the connection. |
Remove |
Deletes the server certificate added previously. The button is displayed only if a server certificate has been added. |
Additional connection protection |
The settings section lets you enable or disable two-way authentication when connecting to the KATA server and add a client certificate. |
Use two-factor authentication |
Enables or disables the use of two-way authentication to further secure the connection to the KATA server. Two-way authentication must be enabled on the KATA server side. To use two-factor authentication, you need to add a client certificate. |
Add client certificate |
Opens a standard file selection window where you can specify the path to the cryptocontainer (PFX archive) with the client certificate and private key. The button is available if the Use two-factor authentication checkbox is selected. |
Edit |
Allows you to specify the password for the cryptocontainer with the client certificate. The Cryptocontainer password field cannot be edited. By default, the password is empty. To specify a password, click Edit. In the window that opens, enter the password and click OK. Clicking the Show button in the window displays the password in clear text in the password entry window. It is recommended to make sure that the password complexity and anti-bruteforce mechanisms ensure that the password cannot be guessed within 6 months. The button is available if the Use two-factor authentication checkbox is selected. |
