Viewing the protected infrastructure in a policy

In policy properties, you can view the protected infrastructure selected for the policy, and information about the use of protection profiles.

To view information about the protected infrastructure in a policy:

1. In the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console, open the policy properties:
   1. In the console tree, select the folder or administration group in which the policy was created.
   2. In the workspace, select the Policies tab.
   3. Select a policy in the list of policies and double-click the policy to open the Properties: <Policy name> window.
2. In the policy properties window, in the File threat protection section, select the Protected infrastructure subsection.
3. The Kaspersky Security administration plug-in attempts to automatically connect to the Integration Server. If the connection fails, the Connection to Integration Server window opens.

   It is recommended to specify the Integration Server address in the <address:port> format.

   If the computer hosting the Administration Console of Kaspersky Security Center belongs to a domain or your domain user account belongs to the KLAdmins group or to the group of local administrators on the computer hosting the Integration Server, your domain user account is used by default to connect to the Integration Server. The Use domain account check box is selected by default. You can also use the Integration Server administrator account (admin). To do so, clear the Use domain account check box and enter the administrator password in the Password field.

   If the computer hosting the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console does not belong to a domain, or the computer belongs to a domain but your domain account does not belong to the KLAdmins group or to the group of local administrators on the computer hosting the Integration Server, you can use only the account of the Integration Server administrator (admin) to connect to the Integration Server. Enter the administrator password in the Password field.

   If the connection to the Integration Server is established using the Integration Server administrator account (admin), you can save the administrator password. To do so, select the Save password check box. The saved administrator password will be used the next time a connection is established with this Integration Server. If you clear the check box selected during the previous connection to the Integration Server, Kaspersky Security removes the previously saved password of the Integration Server administrator.

   The Save password check box may be unavailable if Windows updates KB 2992611 and/or KB 3000850 have been installed on the computer hosting the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console. To restore the capability to save the administrator password, you can uninstall these Windows updates or modify the operating system registry as described in the Knowledge Base.

   In the Connection to Integration Server window, specify the connection settings and click OK.

4. The Kaspersky Security administration plug-in verifies the SSL certificate received from the Integration Server. If the received certificate contains an error, the Certificate verification window containing the error message opens. The SSL certificate is used to establish a secure connection to the Integration Server. If there are problems with the SSL certificate, it is recommended to make sure that the utilized data transfer channel is secure. To view information on the received certificate, click the View the received certificate button in the window containing the error message. You can install the certificate you received as a trusted certificate to avoid receiving a certificate error message at the next connection to the Integration Server. To do so, select the Install received certificate and stop showing warnings for <Integration Server address> check box.

   To continue connecting, click the Continue button in the Certificate verification window. If you selected the Install received certificate and stop showing warnings for <Integration Server address> check box, the received certificate is saved in the operating system registry on the computer where the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console is installed. The application also checks the previously installed trusted certificate for the Integration Server. If the received certificate does not match the previously installed certificate, a window opens to confirm replacement of the previously installed certificate. To replace the previously installed certificate with the certificate received from the Integration Server and continue connecting, click the Yes button in this window.

After connecting to the Integration Server, the right part of the window displays information about the protected infrastructure and the use of protection profiles.

In the properties of the main policy, which determines the protection settings for a virtual infrastructure managed by one VMware vCenter Server, you can select the method for assigning file protection settings in the drop-down list located in the upper part of the window:

• Use virtual infrastructure tree. If this option is selected, the table displays a tree of VMware virtual infrastructure objects and protection profiles assigned to the virtual infrastructure objects.
• Use NSX Vendor Templates / NSX Profile Configurations. If this option is selected, the data displayed in the table depends on the virtual infrastructure where Kaspersky Security is deployed:
  • If the application is deployed in the infrastructure managed by VMware NSX-T Manager, the table displays the NSX Vendor Templates configured in the protected infrastructure and the protection profiles mapped to them.
  • If the application is deployed in the infrastructure managed by VMware NSX-V Manager, the table displays the NSX Profile Configurations configured in the protected infrastructure and the protection profiles mapped to them.

If the entire protected infrastructure is selected as the protected infrastructure in the main policy properties, you cannot use NSX Vendor Templates or NSX Profile Configurations to assign the file protection settings. Use virtual infrastructure tree option is selected in the drop-down list.
