Connecting to the Server through the web interface

You can use any supported browser to connect to the Server through the web interface. You can connect from any computer that has network access to the computer hosting the Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks Server.

To connect to the Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks Server:

  1. Open your browser and enter the following in the address bar:

    https://<Server name>:<port>

    where:

    • <Server name> is the IP address or computer name used by the web server on the Server computer.
    • <port> is the port number specified for the web server.

    If a port number is not specified (prior to startup configuration of the application) or if the default port number (443) is specified for the web server, you only need to enter the IP address or computer name of the Server in the address bar. In this case, the HTTPS protocol and the port number will be automatically determined.

  2. When the account credentials entry page opens, enter the application user name and password and click Log in.

    Be careful when entering the user name and password. If the user password is entered incorrectly multiple times in a row, a user with the Administrator role will receive a notification in the web interface. Subsequent repeated attempts at entering an invalid password may trigger an automatic 30-minute lockout that prevents connection to the Server through the web interface.

    If the administrator has enabled a mandatory password change for the account the first time the user connects to the application after the account has been created and/or after the administrator has changed the password, the New password and Repeat new password fields will be displayed on the account credentials entry page to change the application user's password.

  3. When the fields for changing the application user's password appear, enter the new password and click the Log in button.

    The new password must satisfy the conditions listed on the account credentials entry page. The conditions you fulfill are automatically marked while you are entering your password.

After correctly entering the user name and password or changing the user password when connecting to the application, the Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks Server web interface page will open in your browser window. The name of the browser bookmark for the web interface page will show the Server name that was defined during startup configuration of the application after installation.

A Server connection session has a time limit. A session remains open for 10 hours by default. In Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks 4.5, you can change the session time limit by running the kics4net-params script. If 10 hours have passed since the connection was established, the current page of the application web interface switches to the page for entering account credentials. If this happens, to continue working you will need to re-enter your application user name and password.
