Expand all | Collapse all

This section describes how to install Kaspersky Security Center Web Console Server (also referred to as Kaspersky Security Center Web Console) on devices running the Linux operating system. Before installation, you must install a DBMS and the Kaspersky Security Center Linux Administration Server.

If you install Kaspersky Security Center Web Console on Astra Linux in the closed software environment mode, follow the instructions specific for Astra Linux.

Use one of the following installation files that corresponds to the Linux distribution installed on your device:

• For Debian: ksc-web-console-<build number>.x86_64.deb
• For RPM-based operating systems: ksc-web-console-<build number>.x86_64.rpm
• For ALT 8 SP: ksc-web-console-<build number>-alt8p.x86_64.rpm

You receive the installation file by downloading it from the Kaspersky website.

To install Kaspersky Security Center Web Console:

1. Make sure that the device on which you want to install Kaspersky Security Center Web Console is running one of the supported Linux distributions.
2. Read the End User License Agreement (EULA). If the Kaspersky Security Center Linux distribution kit does not include a TXT file with the text of EULA, you can download the file from the Kaspersky website. If you do not accept the terms of the License Agreement, do not install the application.
3. Create a response file that contains parameters for connecting Kaspersky Security Center Web Console to the Administration Server. Name this file ksc-web-console-setup.json and place it in the following directory: /etc/ksc-web-console-setup.json.

   The set of parameters of the response file depends on the version of the Administration Server to which the Kaspersky Security Center Web Console connects.

   • Administration Server version 16 or later

     Example of a response file with the minimum set of parameters for signing in to Administration Server version 16 or later:

     {

     "address": "ksc-web-console.example.com",

     "port": 8080,

     "trusted": {

     "Administration Server with SSO": {

     "iamHost": "ksc-iam.example.com",

     "iamOAuthPort": 4444,

     "iamProxyPort": 9050,

     "iamCertPath": "/var/opt/kaspersky/klnagent_srv/iam/main_certificate.pem",

     "iamPATPath": "/var/opt/kaspersky/klnagent_srv/iam/initial_token.txt",

     "kscPort": 13299,

     "kscCertPath": "/var/opt/kaspersky/klnagent_srv/1093/cert/klserver.cer"

     }

     },

     "acceptEula": true

     }

   • Administration Server version 15.4 or earlier

     Example of a response file with the minimum set of parameters for signing in to Administration Server version 15.4 or earlier:

     {

     "address": "ksc-web-console.example.com",

     "port": 8080,

     "trusted": {

     "Administration Server without SSO": {

     "kscHost": "ksc.example.com",

     "kscPort": 13299,

     "kscCertPath": "/var/opt/kaspersky/klnagent_srv/1093/cert/klserver.cer"

     }

     },

     "acceptEula": true

     }

   You can install the Kaspersky Security Center Web Console either on the same device as the Administration Server or on a separate device. When installing Kaspersky Security Center Web Console to an external device, the Kaspersky Security Center Web Console (specified by address) and Administration Server address (specified by iamHost or kscHost) are different. Otherwise, these parameters have the same values.

   You can add multiple Administration Servers of different versions to the list of trusted servers. In this case, the Servers may use different authentication methods.

   We recommend that you specify port numbers above 1024. If you want Kaspersky Security Center Web Console to work on ports below 1024, after installation you have to make sure that you have the setcap utility, and then run the following command:

   sudo setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' /var/opt/kaspersky/ksc-web-console/node

   If you do not have the setcap utility, you can install it. Click this link to view the commands.

   For Debian and Ubuntu operating systems, run one of the following commands:

   • sudo apt-get install libcap2-bin
   • sudo apt install libcap2-bin

   For SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux, run the command:

   • sudo zypper install libcap-progs

   When you install Kaspersky Security Center Web Console on Linux ALT operating system, you must specify a port number other than 8080, because port 8080 is used by the operating system.

   Kaspersky Security Center Web Console cannot be updated by using the same .rpm installation file. If you want to change settings in a response file and use this file to reinstall the application, you must first remove the application, and then install it again with the new response file.

4. Under an account with root privileges, use the command line to run the setup file with the .deb or .rpm extension, depending on your Linux distribution.
   • To install or upgrade Kaspersky Security Center Web Console from a .deb file, run the following command:

     sudo dpkg -i ksc-web-console-<build number>.x86_64.deb

   • To install Kaspersky Security Center Web Console from an .rpm file, run one of the following commands:

     sudo rpm -ivh --nodeps ksc-web-console-<build number>.x86_64.rpm

     or

     sudo alien -i ksc-web-console-<build number>.x86_64.rpm

   • To upgrade from a previous version of Kaspersky Security Center Web Console, run one of the following commands:
     • For devices running RPM-based operating system:

       sudo rpm -Uvh --nodeps --force ksc-web-console-<build number>.x86_64.rpm

     • For devices running Debian-based operating system:

       sudo dpkg -i ksc-web-console-<build number>.x86_64.deb

   This starts unpacking of the setup file. Please wait until the installation is complete. Kaspersky Security Center Web Console is installed to the following directory: /var/opt/kaspersky/ksc-web-console.

5. Restart all of the Kaspersky Security Center Web Console services by running the following command:

   sudo systemctl restart KSC*

When the installation is complete, you can use your browser to open and log in to Kaspersky Security Center Web Console.
