Configuring automatic database updates

To configure automatic database updates:

  1. Select and open in the Management Console tree the Control Center (<Server name>) node corresponding to the relevant SharePoint server. Then select the Updates node.
  2. In the workspace, click the General tab, and in the Updates on servers section, select an update source for the databases:
    • Kaspersky Lab's servers to download updates from Kaspersky Lab servers.
    • HTTP server, FTP server, local or network folder to download updates from some of the listed update sources.

      If you select this option, specify in the corresponding text box the server address, local or network folder.

    If Kaspersky Security is installed on a standalone SharePoint server, the update source is selected in the Updates on servers section of the workspace, which appears on selecting the Updates node in the Management Console tree.

  3. The Run mode dropdown list allows you to set up a schedule for updates of the databases:
    • Manually. The update starts when you click the Run database update on all servers button.
    • Periodically. The update starts at the specified intervals.
    • Daily. The update starts at the specified time (the local time of the SharePoint server is used).
    • On selected day. The update starts on the specified days of the week.

    If Kaspersky Security is installed on a standalone SharePoint server, the run mode for automatic updates of databases is configured in the Database update settings section of the workspace, not on the tab.

  4. In the Connection settings section, specify the required connection settings:
    • If you connect to the Internet using a proxy server, select the Use proxy server check box and specify the proxy server address and number of the port used for connection. The default proxy server port number is 8080.
    • If the proxy server requires authentication, specify the name and password of the user account. To do this, select the Use authentication check box and fill in the Account and Password fields.
    • Specify the timeout duration in the Connection timeout entry field. By default, the timeout is set to 60 seconds.

      This proxy server is used to exchange information with KSN cloud services if KSN protection is enabled.

    If Kaspersky Security is installed on a standalone SharePoint server, connection settings should be defined in the Connection settings section of the workspace displayed when you select the Updates node in the console tree.

  5. Click the Save button.
