Step 7. Configuring email notifications

Expand all | Collapse all

Configure the sending of notifications about events registered during the operation of Kaspersky applications on managed devices. These settings are used as the default settings for Administration Server.

To configure the delivery of notifications about events occurring in Kaspersky applications, use the following settings:

• Recipients (email addresses)

  The email addresses of users to whom the application will send notifications. You can enter one or more addresses; if you enter more than one address, separate them with a semicolon.

• SMTP servers

  The address or addresses of your organization's mail servers.

  If you enter more than one address, separate them with a semicolon. You can use the following values:

  • IPv4 or IPv6 address
  • Windows network name (NetBIOS name) of the device
  • DNS name of the SMTP server
• SMTP server port

  Communication port number of the SMTP server. If you use several SMTP servers, the connection to them is established through the specified communication port. The default port number is 25.

• Use ESMTP authentication

  Enables support of ESMTP authentication. When the check box is selected, in the User name and Password fields you can specify the ESMTP authentication settings. By default, this check box is cleared.

• Settings

  Specify the following settings:

  • Subject (subject of an email message)
  • Sender email address
  • TLS settings for SMTP server

  You can specify TLS settings for SMTP server:

  You can disable usage of TLS, use TLS if the SMTP server supports this protocol, or you can force usage of TLS only. If you choose to use only TLS, specify a certificate for authentication of the SMTP server and choose whether you want to enable communication through any version of TLS or only through TLS 1.2 or later versions. Also, if you choose to use only TLS, you can specify a certificate for client authentication on the SMTP server.

  • Browse for an SMTP server certificate file:

  You can receive a file with the list of certificates from a trusted certification authority and upload the file to Administration Server. Kaspersky Security Center checks whether the certificate of an SMTP server is also signed by a trusted certification authority. Kaspersky Security Center cannot connect to an SMTP server if the certificate of the SMTP server is not received from a trusted certification authority.

  • Browse for a client certificate file:

  You can use a certificate that you received from any source, for example, from any trusted certification authority. You must specify the certificate and its private key by using one of the following certificate types:

  • X-509 certificate:

  Specify the file with the certificate and the file with the private key. You can upload these files in any order. When both files are uploaded, specify the password to decrypt the private key. The password can have an empty value if the private key is not encrypted.

  • pkcs12 container:

  You must upload a single file that contains the certificate and its private key. When the file is loaded, you must then specify the password for decoding the private key. The password can have an empty value if the private key is not encoded.

You can test the new email notification settings by clicking the Send test message button.

You can also configure event notifications later, separately from the Quick Start Wizard.
