KUMA server connection settings

Setting

Description

Maximum time to wait for the server connection (sec)

Maximum time to wait for a connection to the KUMA server in seconds.

The default value is 5.

Server certificate

After adding the server certificate, information about the certificate is displayed:

  • certificate serial number
  • certificate subject
  • certificate issuer
  • certificate issue date
  • certificate expiration date

Add

Opens a standard file selection window where you can specify the path to the KUMA server certificate.

If a server certificate has been added, the server certificate is verified on the Kaspersky Endpoint Security side. This elevates the security of the connection.

Remove

Deletes the server certificate added previously.

The button is displayed only if a server certificate has been added.

Additional connection protection

The settings section lets you enable or disable two-way authentication when connecting to the KUMA server and add a client certificate.

Use two-way authentication

Enables or disables the use of two-way authentication to further secure the connection to the KUMA server.

Two-way authentication must be enabled on the KUMA server side.

To use two-way authentication, you need to add a client certificate.

Add a client certificate

Opens a standard file selection window where you can specify the path to the cryptocontainer (PFX archive) with the client certificate and private key.

The button is available if the Use two-way authentication check box is selected.

Edit

Allows you to specify the password for the cryptocontainer with the client certificate. The Cryptocontainer password field cannot be edited. By default, the password is empty.

To specify a password, click Edit. In the window that opens, enter the password and click OK. Clicking the Show button in the window displays the password in clear text in the password entry window.

It is recommended to make sure that the password complexity and anti-bruteforce mechanisms ensure that the password cannot be guessed within 6 months.
