Step 4. Creating a database on an SQL server

To create a database on an SQL server:

1. In the Name of SQL server field, specify the name (or IP address) of the computer with SQL server installed, and the name of the SQL server, for example, MYCOMPUTER\SQLEXPRESS.

   Click the Browse button located next to the Name of SQL server field to select SQL servers that are available in the network.

   If the connection is to a remote SQL server, make sure that the SQL server is enabled to support TCP/IP as a client protocol.

2. In the Database name field, specify the name of the database where the application will store Backup data, statistics, and application configuration details.

   The user account that starts the Setup Wizard must have the rights to prepare the SQL database.

   You can use any of the following databases for handling the application:

   • Database created in advance by the SQL server administrator;
   • Database created automatically by the Setup Wizard

   When installing Kaspersky Security on a SharePoint server farm, you have to ensure integration of all servers on which the application is installed with the same SQL database. To this end, identical values must be specified in the Name of SQL server and Database name fields when you install the application on all farm servers.

3. In the Additional connection parameters field, specify the additional settings for connecting the Backup and statistics database to the SQL server.

   Optional field. For a description of the SQL server connection string settings, you can refer to the Microsoft website via the following link: connection string settings. After installation, you can also edit the connection string settings in the configuration file.

   Example:

   • Connection Timeout=30;Integrated Security=SSPI; MultiSubnetFailover=true

   In the Additional connection parameters field, it is not recommended to specify the Data Source and Database settings because they are defined in the Name of SQL server and Database name fields.

4. To finish the database configuration and proceed to the next step of the Setup Wizard, click the Next button.

Kaspersky Security does not provide channel encryption during data transmission between the server and the SQL database. To secure your data, manually encrypt data to be transmitted over communication channels.
