Creating a virtual Administration Server

You can create virtual Administration Servers and add them to administration groups.

To create and add a virtual Administration Server:

1. In the main menu, click the settings icon () next to the name of the required Administration Server.
2. On the page that opens, proceed to the Administration Servers tab.
3. Select the administration group to which you want to add a virtual Administration Server.
   The virtual Administration Server will manage devices from the selected group (including the subgroups).
4. On the menu line, click New virtual Administration Server.
5. On the page that opens, define the properties of the new virtual Administration Server:
   • Name of virtual Administration Server.
   • Administration Server connection address

     You can specify the name or the IP address of your Administration Server.

6. From the list of users, select the virtual Administration Server administrator. If you want, you can edit one of the existing accounts before assigning it the administrator's role, or create a new user account.
7. Click Save.

The new virtual Administration Server is created, added to the administration group and displayed on the Administration Servers tab.

If you are connected to your primary Administration Server in Kaspersky Security Center 13 Web Console, and can not connect to a virtual Administration Server that is managed by a secondary Administration Server, you can use one of the following ways:

• Modify the existing Kaspersky Security Center 13 Web Console installation to add the secondary Server to the list of trusted Administration Servers. Then you will be able to connect to the virtual Administration Server in Kaspersky Security Center 13 Web Console.
  1. On the device where Kaspersky Security Center 13 Web Console is installed, run the Web Console installation file corresponding to the Linux distribution installed on your device under an account with administrative privileges.
  2. The Setup Wizard will start.
  3. On the first page of the Wizard, select the Upgrade option.
  4. On the Modification type page, select the Edit connection settings option.
  5. On the Trusted Administration Servers page, add the required secondary Administration Server.
  6. On the last page of the Wizard, click Modify to apply the new settings.
  7. After the application reconfiguration successfully completes, click the Finish button.
• Use Kaspersky Security Center 13 Web Console to connect directly to the secondary Administration Server where the virtual Server was created. Then you will be able to switch to the virtual Administration Server in Kaspersky Security Center 13 Web Console.
