Configuring user interaction with the local interface

You can configure the settings for user interaction with the local interface in the Light Agent for Windows policy properties using the Administration Console, in the Light Agent for Windows local interface, and using the Web Console when creating or editing the Light Agent for Windows policy settings (Application settings → Other settings → Interface).

To configure the settings for interaction between a user and the local interface in the Administration Console:

  1. Open Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console.
  2. In the Managed devices folder of the console tree, open the folder with the name of the administration group to which the relevant protected virtual machines belong.
  3. In the workspace, select the Policies tab.
  4. Select a Light Agent for Windows policy in the list of policies and open the Properties: <Policy name> by double-clicking.
  5. In the Light Agent for Windows policy properties window, select the Interface section in the list on the left.

    The local interface settings are displayed in the right part of the window.

  6. Configure the settings for starting and displaying the local interface on the virtual machine.

    To ensure that Kaspersky Security can operate on a virtual machine that uses Windows Terminal Services technology, you must clear the Start the local application interface check box.

    If you use Light Agent in a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) with Microsoft Windows desktop operating system, you are advised to clear the Start the local application interface check box to improve virtual infrastructure performance.

  7. To configure the display of user support information:
    1. In the User support section, click Settings.

      The Support information window opens.

    2. Create a list of links to web resources that will be displayed in the local interface. Use the buttons above the list to add, edit, delete or move links in the list.
    3. Click OK in the Support information window to save changes and close the window.
  8. Click the Apply button.

To configure the settings for interaction between a user and the local interface in the local interface:

  1. Open the application settings window.
  2. In the left part of the window, in the Other settings section, select Interface.

    The local interface settings are displayed in the right part of the window.

    If the settings in the local interface are not available, this means that you cannot configure the local interface display settings because the values of settings defined by the policy are used for all protected virtual machines of the administration group.

  3. Configure the settings for displaying the local interface: password protection, notifications, prompt for a reason for disabling application components.
  4. To save changes, click the Save button.
