About the attended, unattended, and partially attended action modes

When you perform actions on the administrator device when deploying Kaspersky SD-WAN, you may need to enter the root password as well as the master password. How the passwords are entered depends on the mode in which you are performing the action. The following action modes are supported:

In the attended mode, an employee must take part in the action. To perform an action, you must manually enter the root password and the master password. This is the safest mode that avoids saving any passwords on the administrator device.
In the unattended mode, the action is performed without involving an employee. To perform an action, the root password and the master password are entered automatically. In this mode, you can run automated tests.
We recommend using this mode only in a trusted environment, because otherwise hackers may intercept your passwords.
In the partially attended mode, the action is performed with partial involvement of an employee. When performing an action, you must enter the root password, but the master password is entered automatically.
